Strengths
- “Katharine’s as a close-knit, welcoming school, where everyone gets to know each other.”
- “It is a place where pupils feel safe and valued.”
- “Here, staff enrich the curriculum, bring learning to life and help pupils to thrive.”
To improve
- “However, some checks on pupils’ understanding do not consistently identify gaps or inform future teaching.”
- “This means that some pupils do not build knowledge as securely as they could.”
- “Occasionally, however, teaching does not explain subject content in a way that helps pupils to grasp ideas fully or with the precision the school intends.”
