Strengths
- “They enjoy their lessons and talk enthusiastically about what they have learned.”
- “The school is highly ambitious for what pupils can achieve.”
- “The many different experiences pupils have as part of their education make them highly knowledgeable about the world beyond their local area.”
To improve
- “The school has correctly identified that sometimes pupils are cautious in more open-ended investigations and challenges.”
- “However, some pupils, especially pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are not always as independent as they could be.”
- “Some pupils with SEND ably use technology or other adaptations to work with less help, but this is not the case for others who could access the curriculum with less adult support and direction.”
