Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Audlem St James’ and rarely miss a day of school.”
- “Children in the early years settle into school life well.”
- “In key stages 1 and 2, pupils also follow the school rules carefully.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the school has recently revised the curriculum content and its approach to checking what pupils know and can do.”
- “In these subjects, some teachers are not as confident in how to deliver elements of these revised curriculums.”
- “Added to this, on occasion, teachers do not identify and address the gaps in aspects of some pupils’ knowledge.”
