Strengths
- “Pupils at William Law embody the school’s Christian values of learning, living and loving together.”
- “There is a palpable sense of community.”
- “Even those who are less self-confident are notably friendly and polite.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, leaders do not plan as closely as they could how pupils are given the opportunity to revisit what they have learned in previous years.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils do not always make the appropriate connections they might between the different things they learn.”
- “However, at times, leaders do not give teachers enough precise guidance about the right strategies to use.”
