Strengths
- “Pupils and students at Adeyfield enjoy being part of a close-knit school community.”
- “They are well known and well cared for by staff.”
- “Expectations for behaviour, courtesy and personal presentation are high.”
To improve
- “In some instances, more emphasis and praise are given to pupils’ completion of activities than to the quality of their responses.”
- “This means that pupils do not always realise when and how their work could be improved.”
- “School improvement plans rightly target the small number of areas where changes are slower, most notably in science.”
