Strengths
- “Bettridge School is a school where pupils are well cared for.”
- “Staff are highly skilled at understanding each pupil’s individual needs.”
- “Pupils use a range of communication aids and strategies that enable them to share their ideas, thoughts and feelings.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects the sequence of learning is not complete, particularly as pupils move between different key stages.”
- “This makes it hard for teachers to ensure that learning is always building on what pupils already know and can do.”
- “Despite this, curriculum leaders have not yet evaluated which of these are most effective.”
