Strengths
- “This is a multicultural school where everyone is accepted and celebrated.”
- “Pupils understand the school’s ‘respect’ values and put them into practice.”
- “This helps pupils to feel happy and safe.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school has not identified the explicit knowledge pupils should learn at each stage of the curriculum.”
- “In these subjects, while staff possess the expertise they need to teach the curriculum, some do not teach concepts and knowledge clearly enough.”
- “This is because they are unclear about precisely what to teach and when.”
