Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be a part of this happy and inclusive school, which is at the heart of the community.”
- “Staff greet pupils every day with a smile, and pupils respond well to the warm and positive relationships in school.”
- “They treat each other with kindness, which adults model every day.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of lessons, the tasks provided by staff do not always help pupils to understand and remember what was intended.”
- “Some pupils’ plans lack precision.”
- “Targets on their education, health and care (EHC) plans are not as clearly reflected in their school plans as they could be.”
