Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending West Row Academy.”
- “If pupils have any worries, they know that staff will provide them with the guidance and support they need.”
- “Pupils conduct themselves politely and respectfully.”
To improve
- “Although some inconsistencies in provision remain, leaders know where they are, so these are being robustly addressed.”
- “However, on a small number of occasions in a few foundation subjects, staff do not make sure that pupils fully understand what they have learned.”
- “This makes it more difficult for staff to address any missing knowledge or misconceptions.”
