Strengths
- “Petherton Park School is a place where pupils thrive.”
- “At the heart of the school’s success are the warm and trusting relationships between staff and pupils.”
- “They receive the care and support they need to help them overcome the challenges they face.”
To improve
- “However, leaders recognise that in some subjects, the curriculum does not consistently meet some pupils’ needs precisely.”
- “For example, pupils’ learning is not moved on quickly enough.”
- “Therefore, pupils do not build their knowledge as well as they could.”
