Strengths
- “Lister Community School is highly supportive of its pupils.”
- “Pupils are benefiting from recent changes that have improved learning and behaviour.”
- “Pupils and parents and carers feel listened to and engaged with the school.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally learning tasks do not help pupils secure the knowledge they have been taught.”
- “In these cases, pupils become disengaged from learning and do not learn as well as the school intends.”
- “However, there are inconsistencies in how teachers use this information.”
