Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this nurturing and welcoming school.”
- “They form strong and positive relationships with the staff who care for them.”
- “Pupils feel listened to and valued for their individuality.”
To improve
- “However, a small number of subjects are at an earlier stage of development.”
- “In these subjects, there are still gaps in pupils’ prior knowledge.”
- “Nonetheless, pupils find it difficult to recall their previous learning in these subjects, which makes it hard for them to build new knowledge on what they already know.”
