Strengths
- “This school is summed up well by a parent when they said, ‘Staff make every effort so that my child can learn and develop little by little on her own.”
- “Staff care about helping their pupils; they know them well and adapt their teaching to meet their needs effectively.”
- “Leaders have high expectations for pupils.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects or areas of learning in the early years, the key knowledge that leaders want pupils to learn is not as precisely identified and/or as well sequenced as it could be.”
- “When this happens, adults do not put enough emphasis on teaching and then checking pupils’ understanding of the most important subject content and vocabulary.”
- “As a result, some knowledge is not sticking in pupils’ long-term memory.”
