Strengths
- “Severnbanks is a welcoming school at the centre of its community.”
- “The school's motto, 'where stars shine', reflects the ambition and commitment to pupils' resilience and development.”
- “All pupils benefit from the unfaltering commitment from everyone to provide an educational experience in which all pupils succeed, both academically and socially.”
To improve
- “However, a small number of pupils struggle with transcription, such as handwriting, which limits how well they can demonstrate their understanding in written work.”
- “However, at times, staff miss opportunities to extend their learning even further.”
