Strengths
- “This is an inclusive school, where pupils attend well.”
- “Pupils who face barriers to learning and wellbeing are identified quickly and their barriers understood.”
- “They provide skilled support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and for disadvantaged pupils.”
To improve
- “However, too many pupils do not learn as well as they should, or make suitable progress through the curriculum, particularly in mathematics.”
- “This is because the quality of teaching varies across the school.”
- “The improvements leaders have made have not been implemented well enough to help all pupils achieve more highly across different subjects.”
