Strengths
- “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils.”
- “Leaders provide an ambitious and carefully planned curriculum.”
- “They encourage pupils to value and respect everyone in the school’s community and different cultures and beliefs.”
To improve
- “However, leaders do not ensure that all staff know sharply the individual targets of pupils with SEND.”
- “This means that, sometimes, support for pupils with SEND is not as precisely tailored to their needs as it could be.”
- “Sometimes, staff do not deal with unsettled behaviour routinely well.”
