Strengths
- “Leaders have high ambition for every pupil who attends the school.”
- “Pupils know what these words mean and work hard to show these characteristics in their work and play.”
- “Pupils share leaders’ vision that they can be successful in whatever they choose to be.”
To improve
- “In a very small number of subjects curriculum plans do not set out the small steps of learning that pupils need to gain to achieve the overall intended aim.”
- “However, leaders have not precisely identified the best ways that adults can support pupils as they read to an adult.”
- “One-to-one reading sessions lack consistency, and learning opportunities are missed by some adults.”
