Strengths
- “Pupils feel valued and cared for as part of this close school community.”
- “The warm and friendly approach from staff encourages pupils to be positive about their learning and to feel safe.”
- “Strong trusting relationships mean pupils are confident to talk to adults about any worries or concerns they might have.”
To improve
- “This is not, however, consistent in all areas of the curriculum.”
- “In a small number of subjects pupils' ability to recall learning over time is variable.”
- “While many pupils attend well, a small number have higher levels of absence meaning they do not fully benefit from the education on offer.”
