Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this warm and welcoming school.”
- “Working relationships between adults and children are respectful and caring.”
- “As a result, pupils say they feel well looked after.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, leaders are still thinking through the exact order in which knowledge and vocabulary should be taught and progressively built up over time.”
- “This means that, in these subjects, pupils are not able to build as effectively on their previous learning.”
- “In the subjects where curriculum thinking is still being refined, checks on pupils’ understanding are not as helpful in identifying when pupils have not grasped important ideas in a subject.”
