Strengths
- “Pupils at this school achieve well, make friends and are well cared for.”
- “They benefit from how quickly staff identify their needs, make them feel welcome and provide effective support to overcome these challenges.”
- “It is no surprise that pupils look forward to coming to school each day.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils cannot remember knowledge in these other subjects in enough depth or detail.”
- “This hinders how far these pupils can achieve in these wider curriculum subjects.”
- “As a result, pupil absence is reducing over time, although not yet in line with national averages for all groups.”
