Strengths
- “All pupils at Nexus are exceptionally well cared for and supported by staff and leaders.”
- “Staff are expert in understanding each child’s special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), including their communication needs.”
- “Listening to every pupil’s voice is a key focus for leaders.”
To improve
- “In other curriculum areas, including English and mathematics, leaders’ curriculum thinking sometimes lacks clarity.”
- “It is not always clear, within the curriculum, what pupils need to learn and in what order.”
- “In addition, teachers often teach outside their main area of expertise.”
