Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this friendly and inclusive school.”
- “One pupil accurately portrayed the views of many when describing the school as “one big family where we build each other up”.”
- “They value the communication they have with staff about their child.”
To improve
- “However, some of this work is new and, over time, pupils have not consistently benefitted from the stronger approach that is increasingly in place.”
- “As a result, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
- “This includes their knowledge of the personal, social, health and economic curriculum.”
