Some aspects not as strong Inspected 5 February 2025

Strengths

• “This is a school where each pupil is valued and celebrated for who they are and what they can do.”
• “Staff work hard to change this view.”
• “Staff have created a safe space, where pupils can learn.”

To improve

• “At the time of this inspection, the curriculum was not sufficiently developed.”
• “However, the school is in the early stages of this work.”
• “This means that sometimes, pupils are not taught ideas in a logical order, and they do not progress through the curriculum as well as they should.”

Safeguarding: Effective
