Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at school because it is a friendly and welcoming place for them.”
- “They feel cared for and they care for one another.”
- “Pupils do not worry about bullying, which is extremely rare, because staff respond quickly to any hint of unkind behaviour.”
To improve
- “Currently, pupils are not achieving as well as they could in some subjects because the revised curriculum has only recently been put into place.”
- “Subject leaders have not yet checked the effectiveness of the wider curriculum.”
- “However, in the past, leaders have not ensured that the needs for pupils with SEND are identified precisely enough.”
