Strengths
- “Expectations of how pupils should behave are rising.”
- “Increasingly, pupils contribute eagerly to lessons as they want to share their ideas.”
- “Staff encourage pupils to listen to one another and take turns to speak.”
To improve
- “Nonetheless, in some classes, pupils experience disruption, which makes it hard for them to concentrate.”
- “Pupils worry about the boisterous behaviour they see at breaktimes and lunchtimes.”
- “Despite these positive experiences, too many older pupils swear or make disrespectful comments towards one another.”
