Strengths
- “Pupils are valued highly at this school.”
- “They lie at the heart of the decisions that the school makes.”
- “The school places high importance on making sure that pupils succeed academically.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, the adaptations that teachers make to the design of their lessons do not help pupils with SEND to learn the curriculum as well as they could.”
- “However, the school does not make sure that older pupils read the ambitious texts that are available.”
- “Therefore, some pupils do not gain a deep, rich knowledge of different books and authors by the time that they leave school at the end of Year 6.”
