Strengths
- “Pupils at Gladstone Primary Academy know their ‘SMARTS’.”
- “In this way, pupils recognise their own strengths and those of others.”
- “Pupils feel valued and enjoy school.”
To improve
- “That said, there remain some inconsistencies in relation to how well some staff focus on the important knowledge that pupils need to learn in subjects and ensure that pupils respond to the feedback they provide so as they make the best progress.”
- “However, not all staff are adept at ensuring that these adaptations are as effective as possible.”
