Strengths

- “Pupils understand the school’s values of kindness and inclusivity and welcome all from this diverse community into their school.”
- “The school is committed to ensuring that all pupils can be successful, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “Although outcomes do not yet reflect the ambitions the school has for all groups of pupils, all staff have the right subject knowledge and skills needed to support pupils to be successful.”
- “However, some pupils find it difficult to engage with the school and are not attending as regularly as they should.”
- “This means there are gaps in their learning.”
