Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be a member of this school.”
- “Staff care for them exceptionally well.”
- “Pupils’ sense of responsibility is strong.”
To improve
- “However, while they still achieve well in some other subjects, they do not consistently reach the same high standards across all areas of the curriculum.”
- “This is because, in some subjects, and in the early years, leaders have not precisely identified the specific knowledge pupils should acquire or the order in which they should learn it.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, sometimes, teachers do not teach content in a logical order.”
