Strengths
- “Pupils in the school appreciate the pastoral guidance they receive in the ‘ACE’ provision.”
- “Mentor sessions support pupils’ well-being and academic progress though the curriculum.”
- “Staff know the pupils well and work to build positive relationships.”
To improve
- “Pupils do not routinely achieve well in national outcomes because they do not develop an in-depth understanding of what they learn.”
- “Staff do not have routinely high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and attitudes to their learning.”
- “As a result, pupils can lose focus in their learning and sometimes demonstrate negative behaviour around the school site.”
