Teaching and Learning at St Leonard's
At St Leonard's, we aim to provide a rich and varied curriculum to give all our children a stimulating and challenging learning environment.
This was recognised in our most recent Ofsted inspection report, from 2017, which commented:
-
Teachers have high expectations of what pupils can do, and pupils live up to these. Consequently, pupils achieve high standards.
-
Teachers target their questioning carefully for individual pupils, making sure that pupils have to think hard about their answers. Pupils explain their thinking with clarity.
-
Teachers provide work that challenges pupils of differing abilities. Pupils recognise that they can learn from their mistakes. One told an inspector that ‘Sometimes, learning is quite hard – it is a good thing because the things you get wrong can help you next time.’
