Strengths
- “Prince Albert High is a school where pupils and staff alike embody the school’s values of integrity, excellence and service.”
- “An example of this is how pupils clear up the dining hall, knowing the importance of not leaving a mess for others.”
- “There is a culture of mutual respect and care for each other that is exceptional.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not help pupils to understand, sufficiently well, the key subject-specific skills they are developing that will help them be successful in the future.”
- “However, sometimes there are not enough planned opportunities for pupils to engage in discussion to deepen their understanding and strengthen their oracy skills in lessons.”
