Strengths
- “Pupils at St Joseph’s know the school’s three magic words well: ready, respect, safe.”
- “They know how to apply them to their lives.”
- “For example, pupils are ready to learn.”
To improve
- “The school is reviewing this and some aspects are in the early stages of development.”
- “However, the school has not considered the essential knowledge, in some wider curriculum subjects, it wants pupils to know and remember at the end of each unit.”
- “However, linked to the lack of clarity around the essential knowledge, pupils struggle to recall previous learning.”
