Strengths

- “Pupils enjoy learning in a supportive and nurturing atmosphere where they are cared for and feel safe.”
- “They trust adults to help them if they have any worries.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, this process is at an early stage of development.”
- “Where this is the case, the school does not identify sufficiently well when staff require further support to deliver these new curriculums successfully.”
