Strengths
- “Packmoor is a school community that pupils and staff value and enjoy being a part of.”
- “The school sets high expectations for what pupils can achieve.”
- “Pupils reach high standards in reading, writing and mathematics.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, staff do not always review pupils’ learning effectively to identify and address knowledge gaps and misconceptions.”
- “They do not always revisit learning regularly and comprehensively.”
- “This leads to pupils not mastering and remembering key knowledge as well as they could in these subjects.”
