Strengths
- “Staff understand pupils’ individual circumstances and provide consistent care and support that enable pupils to re‑engage with learning and rebuild confidence.”
- “Pupils attend regularly and start the day in a calm and purposeful way.”
- “Staff place a strong emphasis on pupils feeling settled and ready to learn.”
To improve
- “Leaders recognise that information provided at the start of some placements is not always sufficiently detailed or timely, which can limit early planning for a small number of pupils.”
- “However, where assessment information is not used consistently well to shape learning, pupils do not build knowledge as securely as they could.”
- “For some pupils, this results in less consistent progress over time.”
