Strengths
- “Sacred Heart is a school where being kind is the most important thing to be.”
- “This school is at the heart of its community.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and speak excitedly about their experiences.”
To improve
- “However, checks on learning in these subjects do not always identify pupils’ misconceptions and gaps in knowledge quickly enough.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not recall knowledge as fluently as they should.”
- “Additionally, errors in spelling, punctuation and handwriting sometimes go unchecked, leading to repeated mistakes over time.”
