Strengths
- “Pupils feel a sense of belonging in this small school, which is like a second family to them.”
- “They appreciate the visibility of school leaders and staff who are responsive to pupils' needs and there to help and support them.”
- “Pupils trust staff and appreciate how ‘unified’ the school is.”
To improve
- “Their written work is more variable in quality and quantity.”
- “Typically, the school does not provide enough opportunities for pupils to independently apply and rehearse their learning in depth, including being able to demonstrate and apply their knowledge in writing.”
- “Nevertheless, leaders recognise that there is more work to do to reduce persistent absence, particularly for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
