Strengths

• “Rachel Madocks School is a place for safe and joyful learning.”
• “Across the whole school, all pupils follow an appropriate curriculum relevant to their needs.”
• “They care about pupils’ progress and meeting their individual special educational needs and/or disabilities.”

To improve

• “There are opportunities for pupils’ broader development, though these are not always linked to what is being taught in lessons.”
• “However, there is no link between the music and what is learned in lessons.”
• “However, similar to other school groups, learning in lessons does not yet go hand-in-hand with these wider opportunities.”

Safeguarding: Effective
