Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy coming to this small and welcoming school.”
- “Leaders encourage all pupils to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’, and pupils respond well to this belief.”
- “They care for each other and make sure that everyone is included in school life.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not ensured that staff have sufficient training to help them to identify effectively pupils who may have additional needs.”
- “This means that some pupils with SEND are not identified as well as they should be.”
- “At times, pupils rely too much on an adult to help them to focus on their learning.”
