Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 2 May 2024
Strengths
- “The school provides pupils with the care, support and knowledge they need when other forms of education have not been successful for them.”
- “The school’s principles of every day being a new day, and pupils being supported with joy, kindness and care, are apparent across the school’s three sites.”
- “There is a common understanding among the staff team that quickly forming positive relationships with pupils, and helping them to recognise and manage their behaviour, are fundamental to pupils’ success.”
To improve
- “There is still much to do, particularly for pupils in key stage 3, where work has got off to a slower start because of challenges in recruitment.”
- “Many have been out of school or had poor attendance for some time.”
- “Despite the school’s positive work to quickly establish good relationships, and their rigorous work to check on and promote attendance, a notable proportion of pupils do not attend school daily.”
