Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from effective teaching and support.”
- “When pupils join the school, leaders quickly gain an understanding of pupils' specific needs.”
- “Pupils achieve well because staff help to remove the barriers pupils face to their learning and wider development.”
To improve
- “A very small number of pupils with complex medical or mental health needs remain persistently absent.”
- “However, sometimes staff do not spot gaps in pupils' basic knowledge precisely enough and therefore do not plan the most effective activities to address those gaps.”
