Strengths
- “There is a strong feeling of community at Kennington Church of England Academy.”
- “Warm and supportive relationships are evident between staff and pupils, as well as between pupils themselves.”
- “Pupils are proud to be members of this school.”
To improve
- “In some foundation subjects, there is clearly considered mapping of skills, although the knowledge that supports this skill development is not yet as clearly identified.”
- “This is not yet embedded across all subjects, meaning that sometimes teachers may not revisit key knowledge or skills that need to be recapped or developed, meaning that pupils may not recall their learning in the longer term.”
- “At points, however, some of the current processes create a heavier workload for staff than necessary.”
