Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this vibrant and nurturing school, which is a haven for them.”
- “They know that there are always trusted adults who care for them and will help them if they have any concerns.”
- “This helps pupils to feel happy and to have a strong sense of belonging.”
To improve
- “However, some staff do not adapt some activities well enough to help pupils to practise and apply what they learn.”
- “From time to time, this limits how much pupils learn.”
- “Nonetheless, some of the strategies that some staff use to support pupils who struggle in their reading are not fully effective.”
