Strengths
- “Pupils excel at this exceptionally inclusive school.”
- “Staff get to know pupils exceptionally well and provide them with highly individualised, ambitious and effective curriculum and support programmes, which enable them to achieve.”
- “Consequently, pupils leave with numerous qualifications and are very well prepared for their next steps, and they progress to education, employment or training extremely successfully.”
To improve
- “However, despite the many strengths in provision, occasionally some staff do not implement the school’s approaches to early reading consistently.”
- “Furthermore, the school does not always make the best use of the assessment information available to target learning at gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
