Strengths
- “Putting pupils’ best interests first lies at the heart of decision-making at Clifford Bridge Academy.”
- “Pupils settle well into school life whenever they join the school.”
- “They understand the school’s high expectations for their behaviour and for their learning.”
To improve
- “In these subjects, staff do not routinely check well enough that pupils are building links to their previous learning.”
- “This means pupils do not build their knowledge of these aspects of the curriculum as well as they could.”
