Strengths
- “Pupils have an excellent understanding of what these mean and apply them in many different ways.”
- “For example, pupils have a depth of knowledge about the different faiths and cultures that make up modern day Britain.”
- “Pupils have a strong conviction that everyone should be treated with respect.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, some of the activities that teachers select for pupils do not focus sufficiently well on the most important knowledge in the curriculum.”
- “Some of these inconsistencies have not been picked up by the school.”
- “This hinders the school from having a robust oversight of how well pupils learn in these subjects.”
