Strengths
- “Pupils are excited to come to school.”
- “They enjoy their lessons because they say teachers make learning ‘interesting and fun’.”
- “They trust adults to help them if they need it.”
To improve
- “However, while pupils can recall knowledge they have learned recently, they find it harder to remember information from further back.”
- “As a result, they struggle to make connections that could help them to understand more difficult concepts.”
- “However, in a few subjects, teachers do not identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge carefully enough so that they can be resolved.”
