Strengths
- “Pupils make positive strides forward in many aspects of their learning, especially in independence, language and communication.”
- “Leaders make sure that staff thoroughly understand pupils’ special educational needs and/or disabilities.”
- “Pupils thrive and achieve well across the curriculum.”
To improve
- “However, a small number are capable of achieving more than they currently do.Pupils who can write using a pen or pencil do not develop fluency in their written work as well as they could.”
- “This makes it more difficult for these pupils to record their learning or ideas.”
- “In addition, unaddressed gaps in some pupils’ phonics knowledge means that they do not develop their reading accuracy or fluency as well as they could.”
