Strengths
- “Pupils are valued, respected and known well by staff at Asterdale.”
- “This leads to a strong sense of belonging, where pupils achieve well.”
- “Pupils thrive in a culture underpinned by the school’s values.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, pupils struggle to talk about their learning.”
- “However, there are occasions when teachers do not support pupils as well as they could to deepen their knowledge and understanding across the wider curriculum.”
- “Although assemblies and curriculum themes introduce the importance of the fundamental British values of democracy, rule of law and individual liberty, pupils do not consistently explain or apply this knowledge in depth.”
