Strengths

- “There is a lovely, calm and purposeful atmosphere.”
- “The school has good relationships with the local community and provides support where possible, such as food banks and fundraising.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects the impact of the curriculum on pupils’ learning is not being checked carefully enough.”

- “They modify activities, however, some of the adaptations to learning are not specific enough, limiting their impact.”
