Strengths
- “Reach School is a respectful and caring community.”
- “Pupils’ best interests are at the heart of everything that happens.”
- “As a result, pupils settle in fast and learn to meet the high expectations of the school.”
To improve
- “In other subjects, the school has not identified so precisely what pupils need to know and this limits the progress pupils can make in these subjects.”
- “The school knows there is more to do to make sure that the provision for pupils with SEND matches their ambitions and they have suitable plans in place to achieve this.”
- “However, the school has not made sure that it has identified the specific gaps in pupils’ reading knowledge and so the support pupils receive is not focused well enough to address these weaknesses.”
