Strengths
- “The parent who described Knowl Hill as ‘a wonderful and nurturing school that is creating a fantastic environment for our children to learn and develop’ was spot on.”
- “Pupils’ affection for, and appreciation of, the school is tangible in the eager way they come into school and settle quickly to purposeful early morning activities.”
- “Behaviour in class and around school is impressive.”
To improve
- “A varied range of opportunities that complement learning, develop confidence and mould character are on offer, although not all pupils fully benefit from some of the optional activities.”
- “Sometimes, though, teaching is not quite pitched at the right level.”
- “This happens when teachers feel they must stick rigidly to the planned content, despite what pupils do or do not already know.”
