Strengths
- “The ‘LEARN’ values run consistently through Richmond Primary School.”
- “These make clear that everyone is expected to learn, enjoy, achieve, be respectful and to nurture others.”
- “Pupils achieve well and do their utmost to live up to these high expectations.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not make clear the most important content that pupils are expected to know and remember.”
- “This means that teachers do not know which parts of the curriculum to prioritise.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, pupils’ recall of what they have learned is inconsistent.”
