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.”
