Strengths
- “The school strives to make all pupils and families feel welcome as valued members of the school community.”
- “They respond to pupils’ needs effectively.”
- “Pupils trust staff to help them with their problems.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of foundation subjects, there are gaps in what pupils know and remember as they move into the school’s revised and more challenging curriculum.”
- “Assessment of pupils’ long-term knowledge is not developed well enough to help teachers to address this through careful identification of any misconceptions or gaps in pupils’ long-term knowledge.”
- “Despite this, the current lesson structure does not support pupils to apply what they know and remember in maths to support them with problem solving and reasoning.”
