Strengths

“Pupils are proud to attend this inclusive school.”
“Children are warmly welcomed and feel part of the caring, values-driven community.”
“They understand and speak confidently about the school’s vision, 'A school family where everyone thrives in every way.' Pupils demonstrate kindness, respect and positive attitudes to learning and towards one another.”

To improve

“However, attendance remains variable for a small number of pupils.”
“While there has been some improvement, these groups do not routinely attend school as regularly as their peers.”
“However, inconsistencies in the effectiveness of these checks mean that, sometimes, gaps in pupils' knowledge are not identified or addressed, including for pupils with SEND.”
