Strengths

“Pupils, parents and carers unite in their view that Lark Hall is a caring and special community.”

“They build warm, trusting relationships with staff.”

To improve

“When these mistakes persist, pupils repeat them, which hinders their fluency and accuracy.”
“However, they do not have enough opportunities to reason mathematically to deepen their understanding of key ideas.”
