Strengths
- “Blackfield is a welcoming and happy school where staff and pupils take pride in their community.”
- “Its ‘INSPIRE’ values run through every aspect of the life of the school.”
- “Pupils live up to leaders’ high expectations and aspire to achieve the school’s ‘VIP’ status for the day, by showing these values in action.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes staff do not adapt learning activities well enough to help all pupils readily understand new curriculum content.”
- “In some foundation subjects some teachers’ subject-specific knowledge is more limited and this makes it harder for them to put carefully crafted plans into action.”
