Strengths
- “The school’s vision is that all pupils will be ready for adulthood both academically and socially.”
- “This is reflected in all that it does.”
- “More pupils are now able to move on to education or employment that is well suited to them.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum is new and not well established, so pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
- “However, when pupils do not behave well this is not consistently challenged by staff, and so persists.”
- “However, staff are still building their own knowledge of the newly revised curriculum for some of the subjects they teach.”
