Strengths
- “Leaders, staff and governors care passionately for the school’s pupils and their families.”
- “As a result, pupils receive excellent care and support for their well-being.”
- “For example, leaders ensure that there are expert therapists and counsellors available to help pupils to deal with any worries they may have.”
To improve
- “However, in some cases the curriculum is not embedded securely in everyday practice.”
- “This is because the school is part way through its work to review some aspects of the curriculum, and update teachers’ skills.”
- “This means that there are a few inconsistencies in the way the curriculum is implemented.”
