Strengths
- “Sidestrand Hall School is a welcoming, inclusive community.”
- “Pupils quickly settle into school life.”
- “This is because adults take the time to know pupils’ complex individual special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “Due to the recent curriculum changes, some assessment does not always match the knowledge taught in class.”
- “This does not help the school to know which parts of the curriculum are working well and where further improvements need to be made.”
- “The school’s plans to address this issue have only just started.”
