Strengths
- “Being a pupil at Lawrence Sheriff is a highly positive and rewarding experience.”
- “The school has a welcoming and aspirational community feel.”
- “Pupils know that their wellbeing is at the heart of leaders' work.”
To improve
- “However, this is not consistent across lessons and subjects.”
- “At times, checks do not identify gaps in pupils' understanding, which prevents staff from supporting pupils to secure the subject knowledge that they need to know and remember more.”
- “However, some aspects of the school’s provision are less well refined.”
