Strengths
- “Pupils, staff, parents and carers agree that there is a real sense of community at this school.”
- “They are proud to be part of ‘Team Godley’.”
- “They strive to live out the school values and to ‘Believe to achieve and shine together’.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, leaders are refining their systems to ensure that teachers identify what pupils can recall of their prior learning.”
- “In these subjects, teachers are not as well equipped to check that pupils have retained their learning securely in their long-term memory.”
- “This means that some pupils cannot apply prior knowledge to new learning.”
