Strengths
- “Members of the Mount Pleasant school community are united in their view that this is a special school to attend.”
- “The school values of positive relationships, being respectful and showing resilience are the lived experience for pupils and staff at the school each day.”
- “The school has high expectations for all pupils’ achievement.”
To improve
- “The new leadership, supported by a dedicated team of staff and governors, recognises that there is more work to do to ensure that pupils achieve well by the time they leave the school.”
- “While these expectations were not realised in the most recent key stage 2 outcomes, early work to improve the curriculum is beginning to make a positive impact, with further developments planned to ensure all curriculum subjects are delivered effectively in each phase of education.”
- “However, in some other subjects developments are still in the early stages.”
