Strengths
- “Pupils get plenty of opportunities to ‘smile, shine and be happy’.”
- “They respect any differences between themselves and others and treat everyone as part of one school family.”
- “Pupils benefit from the support on offer to meet their different needs.”
To improve
- “However, opportunities like this, to deepen pupils’ knowledge, are not consistent across the curriculum.”
- “This includes writing, where staff do not enable pupils to develop writing in greater depth well enough.”
