Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and kept safe at Ravenstone.”
- “This is because there are always adults who will help them.”
- “This starts in early years where, for example, children learn to use the climbing equipment safely.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, routines used to check pupils’ understanding are not as firmly established.”
- “In these instances, errors and misconceptions persist in some pupils’ understanding, limiting the depth of knowledge they secure.”
- “However, the knowledge and vocabulary needed to prepare them for Year 1 are not always made explicit.”
