Strengths
- “St William’s is a small school at the heart of a small community, where everyone is made to feel valued and special.”
- “Pupils are happy and safe here.”
- “They enjoy attending school enormously.”
To improve
- “However, due to mixed-age classes, some pupils learn the curriculum in foundation subjects in a different order or will have studied different topics.”
- “This makes it difficult for some pupils to make links with what they already know.”
- “However, there is still more to do to ensure that pupils can make links between prior and new learning.”
