Strengths
- “They show kindness to each other.”
- “Pupils build positive friendships with their peers.”
- “They enjoy learning because teachers make lessons fun and engaging.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, leaders have not secured teachers’ subject-specific knowledge.”
- “As a result, the delivery of the curriculum aims in some subjects is not securely implemented.”
- “This means that pupils are not consistently given the opportunity to deepen or apply what they know or understand in these subjects.”
