Strengths
- “Pupils at Pennoweth School model the school’s ‘DNA’ in everything they do.”
- “They are respectful, kind and considerate towards others.”
- “When walking around the school, they greet each other and adults warmly, open doors for each other and display good manners.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, leaders have not considered carefully enough what pupils in mixed-age classes will learn.”
- “This means that sometimes, the learning is not broken down into small enough steps for all pupils to be successful.”
- “Furthermore, teaching does not consistently identify when a minority of pupils find learning more difficult.”
