Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this highly inclusive school where everyone is valued.”
- “Staff greet pupils warmly each day.”
- “Staff know the pupils and their families well.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects opportunities for extended writing are limited.”
- “This restricts pupils’ ability to write at length and develop their skills further.”
- “As a result, writing at the higher standard is not as strong as it could be as pupils do not consistently apply their writing skills and knowledge across the curriculum.”
