No Ofsted grade

“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.”

“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.”
