Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and are happy here.”
- “Relationships between staff and pupils are strong and positive.”
- “Pupils value their friendships with each other, and warmly state that, ‘There is a friendship waiting for everyone at Hookstone.”
To improve
- “However, the school is refining the curriculum in some subjects.”
- “This is because in some wider subjects, pupils can explain what they are learning currently but they cannot recall easily the knowledge that they have been taught in the past.”
- “They are less confident when comparing or remembering learning from previous work.”
