Strengths
- “Pupils’ safety and well-being comes first at Campton Academy.”
- “It shows in pupils happily coming into school.”
- “Those who arrive before school starts, enjoy attending the friendship club.”
To improve
- “Though staff watch pupils while they teach, they are not always quick to use their checks on pupils’ learning to inform their teaching.”
- “So, they may continue with an activity that is not working well for everyone or skim over the mistakes a few pupils make.”
- “Partly, this issue persists because leaders’ monitoring focuses too little on everyday teaching.”
