Strengths

“Pupils are safe and well cared for in this inclusive school.”
“As one pupil put it, ‘This is a school where it’s easy to fit in.”
“They, and their civilian friends, are taught strategies for coping with disappointment and loss, becoming emotionally intelligent and resilient.”

To improve

“However, this is still a work in progress in Reception and a small number of subjects, such as art, design technology and geography, which leaders are in the process of further refining.”
