Strengths
- “Pupils at Hardwicke Parochial Academy feel safe and happy.”
- “Leaders have designed a curriculum that supports pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to learn well.”
- “Leaders encourage pupils to ‘SHINE’: strive for excellence, help others, inspire, never give up and empathise.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, however, pupils find it difficult to remember what they have learned.”
- “This is because systems to assess their knowledge are not well developed.”
- “Teachers do not address gaps in the learning of some pupils quickly enough.”
