Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of this school’s diverse community.”
- “The school provides many opportunities for collaboration with parents and carers.”
- “Parent workshops provide information about how subjects are taught.”
To improve
- “On some occasions, when tasks do not fully meet the needs of pupils, a few pupils lack focus in their work and become distracted.”
- “In some parts of the curriculum, some of the knowledge that pupils must learn has not been broken down sufficiently.”
- “This makes it difficult for pupils to make connections to prior learning.”
