Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend Litherland High School.”
- “They appreciate the commitment and care that staff display for them each day.”
- “This helps pupils to feel safe, happy and valued in school.”
To improve
- “This is because pupils who are no longer at the school did not benefit fully from the strengthened curriculum offer.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, assessment information does not provide teachers with the information that they need to know how well pupils have learned across a series of lessons.”
- “This hinders staff from ascertaining where pupils have gaps in their knowledge or whether refinements to the curriculum are required.”
