Strengths
- “Leaders want the school to be a ‘revolving door that helps and supports pupils back into mainstream or specialist provision’.”
- “The high number of pupils who successfully transfer back into their school or move on to a specialist setting is proof that leaders achieve this goal.”
- “Leaders and staff work tirelessly and successfully to get pupils to a point where they engage in their learning.”
To improve
- “Pupils are often switched off from learning.”
- “However, there are some inconsistencies in relation to how well staff deliver the curriculum, and pupils’ misconceptions are not always picked up.”
- “Subject leaders have had limited opportunities to make checks on how their subject area is taught and the impact this is having on pupils’ learning.”
