Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and enjoy school.”
- “They are supported by staff who are committed to helping pupils to achieve their best.”
- “Staff’s expectations for every pupil are high.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, leaders are part way through developing their curriculum thinking and how they want this to be adopted in lessons.”
- “While leaders know pupils well, some aspects of curriculum design do not take account of pupils’ needs and starting points.”
- “This is particularly the case where subject leadership is new.”
