Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and enjoy their learning at this school.”
- “The excellent pastoral support team assists anyone who is having a tricky time.”
- “This helps pupils to be ready to learn in lessons.”
To improve
- “However, in a few wider subjects, the school has not developed systems to check whether pupils have retained knowledge in the long term.”
- “Consequently, some pupils’ gaps in knowledge go unaddressed.”
- “When this happens, pupils find it difficult to build upon their prior learning or make links between topics.”
