Strengths
- “This is an inclusive school where pupils are placed at the centre of all decisions.”
- “Strong working relationships between staff and parents and carers ensure pupils come to school safe, happy and ready to learn.”
- “School routines are well established.”
To improve
- “However, when pupils do not have a secure knowledge of the subject curriculum, they cannot problem-solve or connect important concepts without adult support.”
