Strengths
- “Staff welcome pupils warmly each morning at St Bede’s.”
- “Pupils said that teachers are kind.”
- “This helps them to feel cared for and valued.”
To improve
- “However, as the curriculum has only just been reviewed, leaders remain in the process of establishing how effectively and consistently the curriculum is delivered by staff.”
- “However, in some lessons teachers do not take account of the needs of pupils with SEND as well as they could to adapt the delivery of the curriculum.”
- “This means that some pupils with SEND do not achieve as highly as they could in their learning.”
