- “The expectations the school has of pupils’ behaviour are high, and pupils regularly meet these.”
To improve
- “However, the needs of these pupils are not always fully considered in lessons, and adaptions are not always as precise.”

- “While staff know what the needs of these pupils are, they do not always adapt work for them appropriately.”
