What the figures show

Strengths

• “Pupils listen to their teachers and work hard in lessons.”
• “Pupils know that teachers expect them to take pride in their work.”
• “Children in the early years are encouraged to try to write in sentences as soon as they can hear sounds and form letters correctly.”

To improve

• “Some areas of the curriculum are still under development.”
• “In these areas, leaders have not identified exactly what pupils need to know or the order in which it should be taught.”
• “Where this is the case, pupils do not remember or properly understand what teachers have taught.”
