Strengths
- “Brigid’s because they know staff care for them and value them as individuals.”
- “Everyone understands the importance of being a kind and respectful person.”
- “The school community is rooted in a deep sense of caring for each other.”
To improve
- “There are a range of extra-curricular clubs on offer, but many pupils do not take up these opportunities.”
- “However, there are times when teachers do not use these assessment strategies as well as they could.”
- “Sometimes this is because teachers are not clear about the key knowledge they want pupils to acquire.”
