Strengths

- “It is a welcoming, inclusive school, where pupils are safe and happy.”
- “Pupils from different backgrounds and cultures and with a range of needs learn together here successfully.”
To improve

- “When this happens, pupils do not secure important subject knowledge as well as they could.”
- “The current programme aimed at helping these pupils to catch up lacks precision.”
