Strengths
- “Hemlington Hall Academy is an inclusive school where everyone feels part of the family.”
- “From the start of the day, pupils come to school with enthusiasm and are warmly welcomed by caring staff.”
- “This provides pupils with a secure sense of belonging and helps them feel valued and safe.”
To improve
- “However, in key stage 2 across the wider curriculum, pupils do not always recall prior learning or key conceptual knowledge as well as leaders intend them to.”
- “However, teachers do not always check carefully enough if pupils have secured the new knowledge before asking them to apply it in independent work.”
- “However, teachers do not always correct pupils’ pencil grip or their use of capital letters.”
