Strengths
- “Being a pupil at Two Waters means being part of a caring and inclusive community.”
- “Everyone is encouraged to thrive and reach their potential.”
- “This is because there is a supportive environment, where everyone’s differences are celebrated.”
To improve
- “While pupils achieve very well in reading and mathematics, they do not always get the support needed to develop their handwriting skills effectively.”
- “However, they do not always have enough suitable opportunities to develop their writing skills.”
- “However, this is less well developed in early years, as knowledge intended for children to learn has not always been thought through carefully enough.”
