Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to attend this school and appreciate the work of all the staff team.”
- “It is a caring school, where staff make sure all pupils are valued and respected.”
- “The support that pupils get helps them to regain an interest in learning.”
To improve
- “On occasions, pupil’s behaviour does not meet the standards expected.”
- “However, they do not yet have a regular programme in place for some areas of the curriculum that leaders intend.”
- “As a result, pupils do not always get the personal development to build character and learn beyond their normal daily life to support pupil’s own values and builds confidence.”
