Strengths
- “Leaders are committed to developing the whole child.”
- “Senior leaders have embedded a culture of high aspiration and high expectation.”
- “They have created a core curriculum model that is enhanced by many wider opportunities.”
To improve
- “However, this vision is not currently being implemented effectively.”
- “While assessment is used well to identify pupils who are at risk of falling behind, interventions to support these pupils are not delivered by early reading experts.”
- “Some learning support assistants lack the subject knowledge and confidence to correct misconceptions.”
