Strengths
- “Leaders have a clear vision to get pupils back on track with their learning.”
- “Their goal is to ensure that all pupils can continue their education in the best school for them.”
- “Leaders work closely with the local authority and local secondary schools, and many pupils transfer quickly to another school.”
To improve
- “Although these pupils receive additional support with reading, there are times when this support is not finely tuned to their needs.”
- “Sometimes, however, staff do not have easy access to this information.”
- “This affects how effectively staff can plan and tailor adaptations to learning in order to fully cater for pupils’ needs.”
