Strengths
- “The Linden Centre is a welcoming and inclusive school, where pupils are valued as unique individuals.”
- “The school’s values of ‘learning, inspire, nurture, develop, empower and nourish’ are well established.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and feel safe.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders have not thought carefully enough about the knowledge pupils need or the order in which they should learn it.”
- “Consequently, in these subjects, pupils do not build on their learning as strongly as they could.”
- “However, a few pupils find their reading books too hard.”
