Strengths
- “Dovetree is an ambitious school.”
- “Pupils, staff and the wider school community are inspired by the drive to ‘Dream, Believe, Achieve’.”
- “Pupils’ personal development is at the heart of everything that the school does.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not make clear enough the precise knowledge that pupils are expected to know and remember.”
- “In these cases, teachers decide which parts of the curriculum to emphasise.”
- “This means that leaders cannot be sure that the most important content is prioritised.”
