Strengths
- “Pupils are eager to come to school.”
- “They talk enthusiastically about the different subjects they study and how they learn them.”
- “Pupils are polite and welcoming.”
To improve
- “However, pupils sometimes have gaps in their knowledge of important subject concepts which hinders them from building detailed knowledge and skills.”
- “However, teachers’ use of assessment is not always effective when it comes to identifying gaps in pupils’ knowledge and skills.”
- “Consequently, teachers are not always well informed about what pupils know and can do when they plan what pupils will learn next.”
