Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy being a part of this caring school community.”
- “They feel safe and secure here, knowing that they are supported by their teachers and other school staff.”
- “As well as a broad academic curriculum, pupils benefit from a focus on wider goals such as communication skills and preparation for adult life.”
To improve
- “While there is some strong work in this area, there is not yet a coherent and consistently effective approach used across all classes and subject areas.”
- “Sometimes the activities chosen by teachers do not prepare pupils as well as they could to develop more extended written outcomes.”
