Good Inspected 7 June 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and feel safe at this inclusive school.”
- “Leaders have created a culture in school which celebrates difference.”
- “This is done particularly well for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), as well as pupils from the LGBTQ+ community.”
To improve
- “However, some teachers do not always check that learning is clearly understood before moving on.”
- “This means that gaps in knowledge can widen and go unnoticed.”
- “However, this aspect of the reading programme and the choice of books that pupils read are not yet creating an enjoyment of reading.”
