Strengths
- “Southall School is a very special place.”
- “It strives to get the very best outcomes for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “They are eager to learn and take advantage of every moment at the school.”
To improve
- “However, in some lessons, staff do not check effectively that pupils understand intended learning or what help they need to be successful.”
- “This means that some pupils are less well prepared for the next steps of their learning than they could be.”
- “Some pupils join the school unable to read confidently and have found learning phonics challenging.”
