Strengths
- “Pupils feel happy and safe at this school.”
- “The renewed vision of ‘aspire, innovate, achieve and belong’ is highly evident.”
- “This is because the school is ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “However, the school rightly recognises that there are still some aspects that could improve further.”
- “For example, not all teachers adapt the curriculum for pupils with SEND fully effectively.”
- “This means these pupils do not always learn as well as they could.”
