Strengths
- “Pupils at Hornchurch High School have high aspirations.”
- “They are motivated to do well and supported to make careful choices about their future.”
- “Pupils achieve well in a wide range of subjects and, as a result, are well prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, when misconceptions are not picked up by teachers and addressed promptly, teaching moves pupils on to the next phase of their learning before they are fully ready.”
- “However, on occasion staff do not fully consider the starting points of pupils when planning tasks.”
- “This means that when work is not adapted equally well for all, some pupils struggle to complete tasks successfully.”
