Strengths
- “Kings' Forest is a school that is centred on the belief that pupils, regardless of their background, can thrive.”
- “Leaders ensure that pupils receive the precise help they need to overcome any barriers that exist.”
- “As a result, pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, flourish and achieve well across the curriculum.”
To improve
- “However, leaders recognise that too few pupils reach greater depth in writing.”
- “Across the wider curriculum, while most pupils gain the required knowledge, some of their understanding lacks depth.”
- “This is particularly the case in those subjects where staff do not have detailed subject knowledge.”
