Strengths
- “Pupils’ behaviour in school is exemplary.”
- “They move through corridors quietly and sensibly, holding doors open for each other and greeting staff as they pass by.”
- “Pupils are polite and remember to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ throughout the day.”
To improve
- “In some other subjects, such as art and design or physical education (PE), there is less clarity.”
- “Sometimes teachers are not sure exactly what pupils need to remember from each lesson and over time.”
- “Pupils are not able to complete their work to the high standard that leaders want in these subjects.”
