Strengths
- “Ashby School is a good school that serves its community well.”
- “It has high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Most pupils strive to meet these expectations.”
To improve
- “However, in 2023, pupils’ progress and attainment at the end of key stages 4 and 5 did not yet reflect the impact of the curriculum improvements that the school has made.”
- “However, formative assessment procedures are not fully embedded or consistent across all subjects.”
- “Improvements are needed to ensure that all assessments check learning and misconceptions, identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge and inform future teaching.”
