Strengths
- “There is a keen sense of community at Templars.”
- “Pupils settle quickly and grow in confidence here.”
- “Whenever they join the school, they can be guaranteed a warm welcome into the ‘family’.”
To improve
- “In a minority of other subjects, leaders’ checks on how well pupils are remembering the content are still developing.”
- “This means that leaders are not as clear about what pupils know and can remember.”
- “This aspect of their work should be developed further to ensure pupils’ knowledge is effectively built on.”
