Strengths
- “Leaders at St Thomas More ensure the school’s core aims to ‘learn, love, play and pray’ are at the heart of the school.”
- “They guide the curriculum, and staff and pupils reflect on them daily.”
- “They also underpin the school’s approach to ensuring pupils behave well.”
To improve
- “These systems are less well developed in some foundation subjects, and, on occasion, some teachers do not help pupils to address misconceptions or check on learning in their written work as effectively as they could.”
