Strengths
- “Pupils thrive due to the high expectations that are set for them.”
- “This is evident in the positive way pupils treat each other and in their high levels of effort when learning.”
- “They have positive relationships with the adults in the school.”
To improve
- “However, this curriculum is relatively new to the school and is still being refined.”
- “As a result, checks on pupils’ learning are not yet used effectively in order to determine what pupils know and remember.”
- “Consequently, pupils may retain gaps in their understanding or struggle to build on prior knowledge effectively.”
