Strengths
- “The ‘Whissendine DNA’ is the bedrock of this remarkable village school.”
- “These three core principles, ‘Discover’, ‘Nurture’ and ‘Achieve’, underpin the high-quality education and the exceptional personal development provision on offer.”
- “The school’s high expectations are reflected in how well pupils achieve in reading, writing and mathematics.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum is not having the full impact that the school intends.”
- “In a few subjects, some pupils do not remember key content securely.”
- “This is because teachers do not revise and secure important prior learning as frequently as they could in these subjects.”
