Strengths
- “This is a school where positive working relationships between staff, pupils and their families is championed.”
- “No relationships are taken for granted and people work together well.”
- “Pupils said they feel safe and trust that the adults that work with them are there to help.”
To improve
- “Many pupils who attend this school have had a negative experience of education before they joined here.”
- “However, occasionally these approaches are not routinely applied in all lessons.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils’ misconceptions or gaps are not addressed or pupils are not able to access the learning as effectively as their peers.”
