Strengths
- “When they enter the school through the Assessment Centre of Learning, all pupils are supported to re-engage positively with education.”
- “Leaders use initial assessments carefully to decide what pupils need in order to succeed.”
- “Over time, pupils develop increasingly positive attitudes towards education, start to attend more regularly and improve their behaviour.”
To improve
- “Many have deeply ingrained patterns of poor attendance.”
- “Pupils often arrive with unrecognised or unmet special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “However, teachers do not always select activities that match the ambitious nature of the planned curriculum.”
