Strengths
- “This school gives pupils a fresh start and the opportunity to re-engage with their education.”
- “Pupils appreciate that staff here listen to what they have to say and support them to improve their behaviour.”
- “Pupils benefit from the positivity and encouragement of their teachers, which helps to foster a safe and secure learning environment.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum does not make it clear enough what the school expects pupils in key stage 3 to learn in each year group.”
- “Although generally successful, there is some variability in how well teachers design learning activities to ensure that all pupils make progress.”
- “Although learning is sometimes disrupted, staff use their expertise and knowledge of each pupil to de-escalate situations quickly.”
