Strengths
- “Pupils at Heartsease learn to be independent and polite, respectful citizens.”
- “As a result, pupils’ behaviour in class is good and learning is very rarely disturbed.”
- “Pupils are calm and kind to each other and show good manners to adults.”
To improve
- “In a few foundation subjects, curriculum plans are under further development.”
- “In these subjects, teachers do not present the small steps of knowledge precisely enough to pupils.”
- “This is because they are not as clear on the key knowledge, and how this builds over time, as they are in the more established subjects.”
