Strengths
- “Hillocks is a warm and friendly school.”
- “Staff have created an environment that makes pupils feel happy, safe, and welcome.”
- “It is a place where children come first.”
To improve
- “However, there is still further work to do to develop the quality of teaching and learning so that pupils acquire the knowledge and skills they need for the next stage of their education.”
- “However, pupils do not remember what they have learned before in sufficient detail.”
- “They recall the activities they have done rather than the key knowledge they need for future learning.”
