Strengths
- “Leaders have high expectations for pupils.”
- “This is because they want pupils to enjoy learning and make strong connections between what they learn across subjects.”
- “Typically, parents and carers are supportive of the changes.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, subject leaders’ curriculum thinking is not as well developed.”
- “As a result, some important subject knowledge is not taught as clearly and sequenced as carefully from the early years upwards and pupils have gaps in their knowledge and skills.”
- “However, they have not been taught the importance of using historical sources of evidence in order to gain a deeper understanding of events that took place in the past.”
