Strengths
- “Wren’s Nest is a safe haven where pupils thrive because of the care and support they receive.”
- “They go the extra mile to remove any barriers to learning that pupils might have.”
- “As a result, pupils make secure progress from their starting points.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s recording process makes it difficult for leaders to analyse information about pupils' attendance, behaviour and welfare in a holistic way.”
- “Leaders' monitoring and plans for improvement are detailed but lack precision.”
- “As a result, not everyone is clear on what the most important priorities are.”
