Strengths
- “All pupils belong and feel that they belong at this highly inclusive school.”
- “Adults greet them warmly and cheerfully as they arrive in the morning.”
- “Pupils thrive in an environment, where their care and wellbeing are significant priorities for staff.”
To improve
- “However, there is still more to do to ensure that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities consistently attend regularly.”
- “There are, however, some occasional instances where a small number of younger pupils do not live up to the high standards of behaviour the school expects of them.”
- “This is confined to less structured times when adult supervision is less evident.”
