Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend Newlyn School.”
- “Pupils are polite, respectful and want to do well.”
- “They show positive attitudes to their learning.”
To improve
- “However, in some other subjects, assessment is not used with enough precision to ensure that all pupils build their knowledge as well as they could over time.”
- “As a result, some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge and do not deepen their understanding.”
- “However, some pupils are still absent too often.”
