Strengths
- “Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School leaders have high aspirations for every pupil.”
- “Most pupils achieve these aspirations successfully.”
- “Leaders have developed a broad and ambitious curriculum.”
To improve
- “In a few lessons, pupils lose interest and misbehave.”
- “However, a few teachers do not carry out these checks well enough.”
- “This means that, in these instances, any gaps in pupils’ knowledge persist and this makes it harder for them to learn new things.”
