Strengths
- “There is a rich multi-cultural diversity and everyone is made to feel welcome.”
- “Strong relationships between pupils, staff and parents provide the foundation of this school’s success.”
- “The curriculum provides pupils with plentiful opportunities to develop their talents beyond purely academic subjects.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes pupils cannot complete learning tasks because the reading level is too difficult or the task is too complex.”
- “For example, in mathematics, some pupils are unable to compare different units of measure because they do not have a firm understanding of millimetres and centimetres.”
- “Assessment does not consistently check pupils’ prior understanding to ensure that they can complete subsequent learning tasks.”
