Strengths
- “Pupils attending Lynn Grove are happy and safe.”
- “It is a place where they can be themselves and where being different is part of everyday life.”
- “Pupils rarely experience unkind language.”
To improve
- “However, because the behaviour of some pupils does not meet the school’s expectations, the number of pupils suspended and permanently excluded from school is high.”
- “The number of suspensions is falling, but further action by the school is required.”
- “As a result of suspension, some pupils miss out on the opportunity to receive the high-quality education provided by the school.”
