Strengths
- “The ‘Hendreds spirit’ pervades the school, embodying the values of respect, courage and kindness.”
- “Pupils are proud when staff notice them living out these values.”
- “They are equally thrilled when their classmates receive this important recognition.”
To improve
- “Leaders know that there is still some work to be done to ensure that all pupils learn the intended content as deeply as possible by the time they leave Year 6.”
- “Sometimes, however, staff do not check that all pupils have understood the content or how to complete the task successfully.”
