Strengths
- “Yardleys School is a unique and special place.”
- “Staff have built an inclusive and cohesive community.”
- “They put pupils’ best interests at the heart of all they do.”
To improve
- “However, there are some instances where pupils do not fully grasp the concepts taught.”
- “This means that new, important knowledge is not learned and understood in sufficient detail.”
- “Subsequently, when teachers ask pupils to complete recall activities, pupils struggle to remember such knowledge, as they did not securely understand it when it was first taught.”
