“But ‘Better Never Stops’ and our next steps as a school are to ensure the research and evidence of ‘Seven Principles for Learning’ are known by our parents, as highlighted in the moderator feedback.”

She added: “We will also improve pupils’ personal development plans to ensure these explicitly link to our learning habits for study programme."
