Strengths

- “Pupils enjoy school and they are safe and happy.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes teachers do not use the information from their checks of pupils’ learning to adapt the curriculum to help pupils learn and remember the intended content.”
- “However, leaders have not consistently identified the small steps that pupils should learn to help them to achieve these goals.”
- “As a result, pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge they could in some subjects.”
