Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and confident at Ray Lodge Primary School.”
- “This is reflected in the way that they embody the school's values.”
- “These values, such as aspiration, resilience and emotional awareness, are lived out daily by pupils and staff.”
To improve
- “However, these systems do not consistently enable detailed analysis of the impact of all actions taken.”
- “As a result, leaders are not yet consistently able to identify and respond to less visible patterns in behaviour over time.”
- “However, some variation remains in how well teachers check pupils’ understanding and introduce new vocabulary.”
