Strengths
- “This is a truly inclusive school where pupils flourish.”
- “The school provides effective support so that pupils achieve well.”
- “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are provided with a truly personalised education that meets their needs.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, pupils’ learning is not as deep and is more factually based.”
- “When this happens, pupils need more opportunities to develop subject-specific skills and knowledge.”
- “However, the checks of what pupils know and can remember sometimes do not consistently align with what they have been taught.”
