Strengths
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), thrive at St Andrew’s School.”
- “Typically, pupils behave well and they develop positive attitudes to learning.”
- “Pupils strive each day to meet leaders’ high expectations of their learning and behaviour.”
To improve
- “However, in one or two areas of learning, the curriculum is not broken down into small enough steps.”
- “On occasions, this means that a few children do not develop equally well across each area of learning.”
- “Despite this, some of these pupils do not catch up with their peers in reading as quickly as they should.”
