Strengths
- “This school has been through a period of significant change and has worked hard to improve the quality of education it provides.”
- “Leaders have successfully made sure that the aim of wanting pupils to ‘develop their own strengths and talents’ is being fulfilled.”
- “Pupils now speak with pride about their learning and a desire to do well.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally pupils become confused and make mistakes when they are asked to share their prior learning.”
- “This is because the focus for this recall is sometimes on less important facts rather than the key concepts that they will re-encounter.”
- “Some, though, have not been in their roles long enough to be able to identify if their subjects are being delivered as intended.”
