Strengths
- “St Kenelm’s is a welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “The school’s ethos, based on the parable of the lost sheep, is realised so that every pupil is valued for the unique qualities that they bring to their school community.”
- “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the care and attention that they need to help them thrive.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school does not systematically and rigorously check whether pupils have learned as much as they should.”
- “Pupils, therefore, have some unidentified gaps in their understanding and cannot always recall and apply the knowledge they have learned.”
