Strengths
- “They provide pupils with the help, care and support they need to become confident, independent and successful citizens.”
- “Pupils are resoundingly clear that their school is a ‘friendly, happy, welcoming and safe place’.”
- “They rise to leaders’ high expectations and show positive attitudes to learning.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, teachers do not always check carefully what pupils know and can do.”
- “This means that they do not identify and address misconceptions in pupils’ knowledge before introducing new activities.”
- “As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could from their starting points.”
