Strengths
- “This is a school that values inclusion, strives to develop the whole child and promotes a sense of belonging.”
- “Pupils feel part of the school community.”
- “They arrive happily each morning and attend well.”
To improve
- “However, the support that a small number of pupils receive is not consistently helpful.”
- “Leaders recognise that systems for monitoring the impact of their actions, and adjusting support for pupils accordingly, are not always as robust as they could be.”
- “Occasionally, this means some pupils do not get the precise support they need.”
