Strengths
- “Pupils at Roman Way are kind and caring towards each other.”
- “They are motivated to learn and keen to share what they have learned.”
- “Pupils know who to talk to if they have concerns or worries.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, the school has not set out its expectations clearly enough.”
- “Therefore, some teachers do not always teach the curriculum as expected, as they lack the subject knowledge to do so.”
- “This means that some pupils do not acquire all of the knowledge that subject leaders intend, as much as they could.”
