Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending St John’s Church of England Academy.”
- “They are safe in school and know that there is always a trusted adult to talk to if they have a concern.”
- “If it happens, adults step in and ensure that it stops.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of lessons, teachers do not identify from the curriculum plans precisely what knowledge to teach.”
- “This means that some activities are not well chosen to develop pupils’ learning.”
- “Sometimes, teachers do not notice pupils’ misconceptions quickly enough.”
