Strengths
- “The supportive, inclusive and welcoming culture shines through from the moment you step over the threshold at Harvills Hawthorn.”
- “Pupils were proud to tell inspectors about how all pupils are included in every aspect of school life.”
- “This shows in the tireless work being done to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “Pupils enjoy their daily mathematics lessons, but sometimes are hampered by a lack of fluency in their calculation.”
- “This means that they find it difficult to solve some problems as quickly or as confidently as they could.”
- “This is having a positive impact on the quality of work pupils produce, but there are times when errors are not identified effectively enough and are repeated.”
