Strengths
- “Lanesend is a warm, welcoming school that nurtures its pupils.”
- “Pupils are proud of their school.”
- “They care for each other and the environment.”
To improve
- “However, due to the speed of implementing this new curriculum, opportunities for the school to monitor its full effectiveness have been limited.”
- “As a result, some adaptations, although considered and responsive, could be made more promptly to ensure that more pupils have the opportunity to learn as well as they could.”
- “However, in a minority of subjects, teachers’ checks do not always highlight and address previous gaps or misconceptions in pupils’ knowledge from earlier, when the curriculum was less secure.”
