Strengths

  • “Pupils are happy to attend this school.”
  • “Teachers think carefully about how to enthuse pupils about learning.”
  • “Pupils appreciate this.”

To improve

  • “In some instances, teaching does not establish what pupils already know and understand and then build on this.”
  • “This affects how well pupils are able to develop knowledge and remember it securely in the long term.”
  • “Leaders should continue their work to strengthen the delivery of the curriculum so that pupils acquire and remember detailed knowledge across the subjects.”
