Strengths
- “Pupils with SEND are extremely well supported to fully participate in school life.”
- “Most pupils strive to make the motto come to life.”
- “Pupils are generally happy, polite and caring towards each other.”
To improve
- “Where this is not the case, staff do not consistently follow this up.”
- “However, work in some pupils’ books shows that the same errors are repeated over time.”
- “Work in some books also shows that not all teachers consistently uphold leaders’ ambitions in terms of care of, and pride in, presentation and accuracy.”
