Strengths

• “Everyone is welcomed with a huge smile at Bearbrook.”
• “Pupils are ‘ready, safe and respectful’.”

To improve

• “While these expectations are realised for most pupils in most subjects, the school continues to work on the curriculum, so that all pupils are able to achieve the very best outcomes in all subjects.”
• “However, how pupils will learn other subject-specific knowledge as they move through the school is not always as clear.”
• “However, in some other subjects, leaders have not yet thought out how to check pupils understanding.”
