Strengths
- “Oasis Academy Clarksfield is a happy school.”
- “The warm welcome that pupils and their families receive each morning from staff ensures a positive start to the day.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy positive and encouraging relationships with each other and with staff.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, teachers do not use assessment strategies effectively to check pupils’ understanding and respond to any misconceptions.”
- “This means that some gaps in learning are not addressed promptly, which prevents some pupils from achieving as well as they could.”
- “However, some of the books that some pupils read do not match the sounds that they know.”
