Strengths
- “Staff have high expectations of all pupils at Dilton Marsh.”
- “Pupils respond positively to these expectations by behaving well and working hard.”
- “They leave Dilton Marsh ready for secondary school.”
To improve
- “However, in a minority of the wider curriculum subjects, the school has not thought about the most important knowledge it wants pupils to learn.”
- “This means, on occasion, learning activities are not well matched to the knowledge the school intends pupils to learn.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not remember their learning long-term.”
