Strengths
- “The school has created a safe, inclusive environment where pupils are well supported, valued and cared for.”
- “Positive working relationships between pupils and staff help pupils to develop ‘Tor Traits’, such as building their resilience and sense of responsibility.”
- “Staff work with parents and carers and children to bring about positive changes to pupils’ attendance and well-being.”
To improve
- “However, when pupils join the school, teachers’ thorough assessments of pupils’ needs sometimes find that pupils’ SEND or co-existing needs have not been fully identified.”
- “However, the phonics teaching and learning in the secondary phase is not as well developed as in the primary phase.”
- “This means that some pupils in Years 7 to 11, cannot read and spell words accurately or with confidence.”
