Strengths

  • “Pupils are articulate, mature and reflective.”
  • “They treat each other with respect and value each other’s opinions.”
  • “Leaders have extremely high expectations for all pupils.”

To improve

  • “In some subjects, leaders do not break down the exact knowledge they want pupils to know and remember.”
  • “In these subjects, teachers are not routinely clear what they need to focus on or what they are assessing pupils against.”
  • “Leaders need to clarify what they want taught in these subjects across the school, including how content builds sequentially from early years.”
