Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to Alderwood School.”
- “There is a strong sense of community here, and one that is fully inclusive of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Pupils across the age ranges know how to treat each other with kindness, and relationships between staff and pupils are positive and warm.”
To improve
- “However, this is not the case in the secondary phase, where pupils’ recall is more variable.”
- “Here, pupils do not achieve well enough and, while there has been work by the school to tackle this, it has not yet made enough of a difference to what pupils know and remember.”
- “However, this same practice is not as precise in the senior phase.”
