Strengths
- “A warm welcome awaits all who walk through the doors of this small but wonderfully inclusive school.”
- “Pupils happily come to school due to the positive relationships that they build with friends and nurturing staff.”
- “Opportunities to raise money for charity help pupils to know the importance of being a good citizen.”
To improve
- “In some of these subjects, teachers do not always ensure that pupils are sufficiently knowledgeable before moving on to new learning.”
- “This means that some pupils struggle to make connections between ideas and remember learning.”
- “Staff do not always have the expertise that they need to make learning accessible for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
