Strengths
- “These pupils receive a warm welcome.”
- “Feeling comfortable in school helps pupils get their education off to a strong start.”
- “Pupils explain keenly about what they learn, for example, enthusiastically retelling the story of Ganesh, or reciting their times tables.”
To improve
- “There are a few subjects where leaders have only broadly set out what they want pupils to learn.”
- “Some teachers find it difficult to plan a clear sequence of learning in these subjects.”
- “This shows itself in pupils’ recall of concepts being weaker.”
