Strengths

• “Devon Hospitals’ Short Stay School puts pupils at the heart of all it does.”
• “The school understands the importance of building relationships.”
• “Staff prioritise pupils feeling safe and having trust in the staff who work with them.”

To improve

• “However, there is a lack of consistency in some whole-school systems and processes.”
• “Consequently, the school’s oversight of pupils’ education is not as efficient and informative as it could be.”
• “However, there are missed opportunities to ensure that pupils have the important mathematical knowledge they need which underpins learning as it increases in complexity.”
