Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to Flying High Academy because they like to learn.”
- “They feel safe because they know that if they have any worries, they can tell an adult or pop a note in a box that the ‘worry monster’ sits on.”
- “Pupils know that adults will check the notes that are in the box under this soft toy and provide help for anyone who needs it.”
To improve
- “However, some books that pupils are given, particularly for pupils in Year 2, are not quite right for them.”
- “Some subjects are not planned in as much detail.”
- “However, they have not finished setting out in detail the most important things that will be taught to pupils in every subject.”
