Strengths

To improve
- “However, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not always receive the precise help they need to achieve as well as their peers.”
- “However, in some subjects, including geography, teachers do not routinely show pupils how to use what they already know when learning about bigger and more complex ideas.”
- “However, leaders have not ensured that this support consistently helps these pupils to become confident in using the precise knowledge taught.”
