Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy at this school, where staff aim to ‘excite, engage and include’ them.”
- “Pupils speak with fondness of the school’s values of love, hope, forgiveness, perseverance and respectfulness.”
- “They invariably show these values throughout each day.”
To improve
- “However, because the work on the wider curriculum is more recent than in English and mathematics, it is not yet fully developed.”
- “As such, pupils do not achieve as well as they could in some subjects.”
- “However, while support is in place for these pupils, this is not always precisely matched to pupils’ needs.”
