Strengths
- “Edward the Elder is a school where everyone subscribes to the values of ‘partnership for achievement’.”
- “There is high ambition for all pupils.”
- “The school is highly visible in the local community, regularly involving parents and carers in pupils’ learning.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, staff’s subject knowledge is not as strong as in other areas of the curriculum.”
- “This makes it more difficult for them to show pupils what they expect high-quality work to look like.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not always produce work that is of a high standard in these subjects.”
