Strengths
- “Pupils facing the greatest challenges, for example the large proportion of pupils who arrive at this school from other countries, typically have their needs well understood and consistently met.”
- “They quickly build up their knowledge of English and learn about what it means to live in modern Britain.”
- “In addition, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) who attend the specially resourced provision benefit from support provided by skilled staff.”
To improve
- “Different groups of pupils have widely different educational experiences at this school.”
- “Some other groups of pupils do not learn as well as they should.”
- “This is largely due to the inconsistent quality of teaching that they receive.”
