Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of this inclusive school community.”
- “They understand the school’s values of respect, honesty, kindness, strength and responsibility.”
- “Pupils demonstrate these through their exceptional behaviour, conduct and attitudes to learning.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, these checks are not as effective.”
- “Staff do not always check carefully enough that pupils understand the intended learning.”
- “This means that some pupils do not always get the help they need to keep up.”
