Strengths
- “Pupils are valued through the school’s ethos of ‘Opportunity and Community’.”
- “They build strong, trusting relationships with staff.”
- “Consequently, pupils feel happy and safe, adding to their sense of enjoyment of school life.”
To improve
- “However, this is not consistent in all subjects.”
- “At times, in a small number of subjects, the adaptations made by teachers are not sharply tailored to pupils’ needs.”
- “This means some pupils with SEND struggle to keep up with their peers and develop gaps in their understanding.”
