Strengths
- “Pupils are extremely proud of their school.”
- “Leaders value their views and take them seriously.”
- “As a result, pupils have directly influenced improvements in the quality of education they receive.”
To improve
- “However, in some wider curriculum subjects, learning is not as clearly organised.”
- “For instance, in geography, leaders have not decided what pupils should learn in each year group to develop their knowledge of map skills.”
- “However, in some subjects it is harder to check learning because the curriculum content is not specific enough.”
