Strengths
- “Leaders have built a positive, inclusive culture at Waterwells.”
- “The school’s core values to be kind, honest, responsible and respectful are central to learning and pupils’ personal development.”
- “Staff model positive relationships and have high expectations of pupils.”
To improve
- “Where this is the case, teachers do not have the same strength of subject knowledge to deliver the curriculum as well as in mathematics and reading.”
- “However, sometimes teachers do not use the information well to help pupils with SEND to keep up or catch up.”
