- “Pupils enjoy their lessons and they attend school regularly.”
To improve
- “Although the school has high expectations for how pupils present their work, sometimes this is not always met.”
- “However, assessment in some subjects is, sometimes, not used effectively and leaders’ checks on learning are limited, so they are unable to identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge and skills.”
