Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “They appreciate their caring teachers, who are always ready to help them.”
- “They feel listened to and safe because staff are quick to help them to resolve any problems.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not consistently well delivered and pupils do not learn as much of the subject curriculum as leaders intend.”
- “However, staff do not reliably provide the right support and adaptations to the curriculum that these pupils may need.”
- “Sometimes, pupils with SEND do not develop their independence and fluency as quickly as they could.”
