Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this happy and caring school.”
- “The school has a tangible family feel.”
- “Pupils live out the school motto of ‘together we can make a difference’.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers do not use assessment strategies effectively to check how well pupils are learning.”
- “As a result, they do not address misconceptions in some pupils’ understanding quickly enough.”
- “However, teachers are not entirely clear about how to refine adaptations made to the delivery of the curriculum so that pupils with SEND access this to the best of their ability.”
