Strengths
- “They enjoy learning and playing with their peers.”
- “Pupils live up to the school’s three overarching rules requiring them to be, ‘ready, respectful and safe.”
- “They value learning and are inquisitive.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s guidance for staff about how to support pupils with cognition and learning needs is occasionally vague or unclear.”
- “In such instances, staff do not provide the exact support pupils need.”
- “As a result, some of these pupils are not learning as well as they could.”
