Strengths
- “Lady Seaward’s wants the best for each pupil.”
- “The school works hard to support academic success while also excellently fostering their personal growth.”
- “The values of compassion, aspiration and resilience run like a golden thread through every aspect of the school.”
To improve
- “For a small number of pupils, some reading and writing activities are too complicated.”
- “This means they do not get the time they need to secure the basics before they move on to the next stage.”
- “These pupils struggle to become fluent readers and writers because they cannot quickly recall the basic information they need.”
