Strengths
- “Pupils at Avalon School are known and celebrated as individuals.”
- “They are treated with sensitivity and care by staff.”
- “Staff know pupils and their special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well.”
To improve
- “Leaders are working with staff to ensure they have a consistently secure subject knowledge across all subjects.”
- “Where staff do not have secure subject knowledge, learning activities do not provide pupils with opportunities to secure and deepen their knowledge sufficiently well.”
- “Leaders aim to embed the communication plans into practice next year.”
