Strengths
- “Pupils uphold the academy’s expectations for behaviour.”
- “Staff consistently apply these rights to ensure that the academy is a happy and safe environment for pupils.”
- “They agree that the consequences are fair.”
To improve
- “However, some subject ambassadors have not sufficiently identified the small steps of learning to meet the end points.”
- “This means teachers do not have the detail to support them to implement these plans effectively.”
- “Leaders recognise that checking what pupils know in the wider curriculum is still in development.”
