Strengths
- “They learn how to be good friends who respect that everyone is different.”
- “They understand the school values of ‘respect, nurture, inspire, aspire’.”
- “They try hard to meet these goals.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the checks made on what pupils know are not used effectively.”
- “Staff do not collect the information needed to plan appropriate next steps for pupils in these subjects.”
- “As a result, gaps in pupils’ knowledge emerge, and pupils do not remember the knowledge leaders intend across the curriculum.”
