Strengths
- “Pupils reflect often on how they behave and how they can demonstrate virtues such as self-discipline, humility and empathy.”
- “For instance, older pupils look after younger children in the playground, serve healthy salad to their peers at lunchtime and help to remind each other of the school routines.”
- “The school has high ambition for pupils’ achievement.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers’ checks on pupils’ understanding are less timely than they might be.”
- “The information they gather is not used by the school to evaluate how well pupils have learned the curriculum.”
- “This means pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge they could.”
