Strengths
- “St Dennis is built on strong relationships.”
- “Pupils have a great sense of pride in the school.”
- “They gain this, for example, through representing the school in sports competitions.”
To improve
- “However, senior leaders know that pupils’ knowledge in some areas of the curriculum is not good enough.”
- “For example, in religious education (RE), some pupils struggle to recall what they have learned.”
- “This is because teachers do not build precisely enough on what pupils already know.”
