Ofsted
Good Inspected 23 May 2023
Strengths
- “Leaders have taken robust action to address the significant safeguarding weaknesses evident at the time of the last inspection.”
- “They have worked closely with colleagues from the local authority to ensure that the culture, systems and processes in place to keep pupils safe are effective.”
- “Leaders have developed an ambitious curriculum, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “However, some of the information that teachers receive through SEND support plans is not precise enough.”
- “This means that there are inconsistencies in how some staff support pupils with SEND.”
- “At present, these pupils are not consistently receiving the support they need to become confident readers.”
