Strengths

- “Pupils love coming to school every day and want to do their best.”
- “Adults know children and families well, treating them with great care.”
To improve
- “However, their knowledge of what children can and cannot do is not used as well as it could be to inform planning for future sessions.”
- “However, some other pupils have not had their special educational needs identified promptly and precisely enough.”
- “This limits the extra help beyond the school that they are able to access.”
