Strengths
- “Pupils are immensely proud to be part of this small, inclusive school.”
- “They appreciate the positive relationships that they have with staff.”
- “These relationships help pupils to feel safe and secure.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum is still being refined.”

- “This means that some pupils develop gaps in their understanding and their knowledge does not build securely.”
