Strengths
- “Although many pupils have missed a lot of schooling by the time they arrive at Cambian Devon School, they adapt quickly and thrive.”
- “Most pupils have social, emotional and mental health difficulties but they learn to manage their behaviour well.”
- “The school prioritises the learning and pastoral needs of each pupil.”
To improve
- “However, assessment of pupils’ knowledge in a few areas is not as sharp.”
- “In these areas, teachers do not make suitable adaptations to the teaching of the curriculum.”
- “This means pupils do not build their knowledge as well.”
