Strengths

- “Pupils benefit from exceptional personal, social and emotional support.”
- “This contributes strongly to how well pupils achieve.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teaching does not develop pupils’ vocabulary well enough.”

- “However, the school’s approaches to provide opportunities for pupils to retain key knowledge over time are at an early stage in some subjects.”
