Strengths
- “Pupils describe their school as a ‘very happy place’.”
- “This is because of the nurture and care they receive from adults who help them.”
- “The school works hard to make sure pupils attend frequently and on time.”
To improve
- “While teachers use the information to plan a series of lessons, subject leaders have not yet had the opportunity to make a full check of how well pupils secure a deep knowledge in these subjects.”
- “However, not all adults have the same level of subject expertise.”
- “This means they do not precisely identify the key knowledge pupils need to know.”
