Strengths
- “Pupils describe Doncaster School for the Deaf as one big family.”
- “They say that they love coming to school and feel extremely well supported in their learning.”
- “Pupils are very proud of their academic and wider achievements.”
To improve
- “The primary phase curriculum plans are under development.”
- “However, in foundation subjects, such as art and personal, social and health education, teachers do not always check carefully enough what pupils know and have remembered.”
- “This means that the next stage of learning does not always build on what pupils have already learned.”
