Strengths
- “Staff and pupils give visitors a warm welcome at St John’s.”
- “There is a strong sense of pastoral care across the school, which reflects the school’s Christian values.”
- “Leaders teach pupils how to be responsible, caring citizens.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not set out the learning or knowledge pupils should remember clearly enough in a few subjects, for example geography and history.”
- “This affects how well they have developed their subject areas.”
- “Therefore, there is variability in teachers’ subject knowledge across subjects.”
