- “Staff take time to get to know pupils and truly understand their needs.”
- “The care of staff is evident in the relationships that they have with pupils.”
To improve
- “However, for some pupils, achievement could be even better.”
- “At present, teachers do not consistently choose tasks that enable pupils to take the next steps in their learning as quickly as they otherwise could.”
- “However, these arrangements are at an early stage of development and they currently lack precision in enabling teachers to match tasks to pupils' next steps in learning more precisely.”
