“Pupils relish learning the interesting and ambitious curriculum at Wheatfields.”
“They behave exceptionally well.”
“All pupils are motivated to succeed.”

To improve

“In some subjects, leaders have not been specific enough about the details they want pupils to learn.”
“This leads to some inconsistency in how and when teachers teach these subjects, which leaves gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
“Beyond mathematics and reading, assessment processes do not give leaders enough understanding of how well pupils are learning.”
