Strengths

- “They are valued as individuals, and they know their voice matters.”
- “Staff know pupils well and understand the complex range of needs within the school community.”
To improve
- “However, when teaching lacks a sharp focus on reinforcing and consolidating learning, pupils sometimes miss chances to strengthen and embed the core skills they need to progress confidently.”
- “However, at times, staff do not deliver this content in a logical order.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to secure their learning one step at a time.”
