In a time when many local authorities have stripped away the support they previously provided to school, Leeds continues to provide support to its schools. Our School Improvement Advisor visited recently and had this to say:
Through the observation of teaching and a comprehensive learning walk, it is the view of the SIA that Scholes no longer has the feel of a school requiring improvement… leaders have worked very hard to ensure pupils are cared for and are now achieving well. Previous weaknesses have been robustly challenged and the fruits of this work are beginning to be reflected in pupil outcomes… An observation of teaching suggests that without exception, teachers have good subject knowledge.
