Strengths
- “Much Birch is a kind and caring school where parents, pupils and staff celebrate feeling part of a family.”
- “Pupils feel safe because of the warm relationships they develop with staff who help them when they find things difficult.”
- “Pupils welcome visitors to their school, wearing smiles on their faces and an openness to share the many positive experiences they have.”
To improve
- “However, support staff lack the necessary subject-specific knowledge in some subjects.”
- “However, in a few subjects, this is not the case.”
- “Monitoring in these subjects has not identified that activities are often prioritised over the development of the important skills and knowledge the school wants pupils to acquire.”
