Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend Cornfield.”
- “The school works hard to break these barriers down quickly.”
- “Pupils develop strategies to manage their behaviour and to express how they feel in a positive manner.”
To improve
- “However, some younger pupils arrive with significant gaps in learning, and, while the school has begun to address this, it is too early to show the impact of this work.”
- “As a result, these pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
- “Due to weakness in the curriculum, support for pupils to address barriers to academic learning is less effective and, at times, lacks the precision needed.”
