Strengths
- “Pupils mirror the school’s ‘character traits’ in their daily behaviour.”
- “They know the importance of having empathy, showing kindness, respecting others and having the grit to keep going.”
- “One pupil said that ‘traits help us to be our best selves’.”
To improve
- “A few subjects are not yet as carefully structured so that the knowledge pupils acquire links to other things they know.”
