Strengths
- “Expectations of pupils at this school are high.”
- “Pupils benefit from the school’s clear desire to ensure everyone achieves their full potential regardless of their circumstance.”
- “A noexcuses culture built on ‘aiming high, respect and care’ inspires pupils to work hard and do their very best.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes teachers do not check that pupils understand how to be successful before they start their tasks.”
- “Similarly, sometimes teachers do not revisit weaker learning before they move pupils on to their next task.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not secure the required learning in some subjects.”
