Strengths
- “New Christ Church is an inclusive school community.”
- “Pupils are proud to come to school and learn alongside their friends.”
- “Staff have prioritised building trusting relationships.”
To improve
- “However, in some foundation subjects and some aspects of early years, the curriculum design needs further refinement as pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
- “For example, knowledge is not always built securely, step by step, and practised.”
- “Similarly, teachers do not always check for secure understanding as well as they should before moving the learning on.”
