From Ofsted report, inspected Apr 2023

Strengths

  • “Pupils are keen to demonstrate their Crown Lane ‘superpowers’ in all that they do.”
  • “For example, staff encourage pupils to show resilience, curiosity and reflectiveness when they are learning.”
  • “Leaders and staff have created a kind and safe place for pupils to learn.”

To improve

  • “Some activities that pupils complete in lessons are less helpful than others in supporting their learning of the curriculum.”
  • “When this happens, it decreases how well pupils are supported to secure and remember knowledge.”
  • “Leaders should continue their work to strengthen the implementation of the curriculum for all subjects.”
