Strengths
- “Pupils are welcomed into this nurturing community.”
- “They enter school smiling and are happy to be there.”
- “They are reassured that staff are there to keep them safe.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, at times, the school does not clearly identify the next steps for pupils with SEND and how their learning should be broken down.”
- “This hinders some pupils with SEND from developing a deep and rich understanding of the curriculum.”
- “However, these actions have not secured improvement for all pupils, in particular those with SEND.”
