Strengths
- “Leaders and staff work together to fulfil the vision for their school to be a place where every pupil ‘reaches higher by learning and growing together’.”
- “From their start in the early years, leaders make sure that children are ready for the next steps in their education.”
- “Parents and carers welcome the home visits that staff make to ensure children have the best possible start.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, such as geography, teachers do not plan enough opportunities for pupils to revisit knowledge over time.”
- “Some pupils are not given the opportunity to practise the knowledge and skills they need to be able to build new knowledge into larger ideas.”
- “However, in a few lessons, some teachers do not systematically check pupils’ understanding.”
