Good Inspected 29 November 2022
Strengths
- “Leaders have high expectations of pupils.”
- “These expectations are mirrored in the school vision that ‘the ‘Pannal-shaped’ child is self-aware and mindful, works collaboratively, respects others, is interested in the wider world and is not afraid to fail’.”
- “Pupils meet these standards that leaders expect of them through their positive working together, the leadership roles they undertake in school and how they support others.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, however, it is not well sequenced so as to enable regular assessment to identify whether pupils are learning the intended curriculum.”
- “Some curriculum leaders are not able to monitor their subjects effectively.”
- “In some subjects, leaders have not identified the small steps of learning that teachers need to follow in the right order to ensure that all pupils gain the key knowledge and vocabulary for the subject.”
