Strengths

• “Pupils are happy and motivated learners in this inclusive school.”
• “They are well known and supported by the staff here.”
• “They are clear about the adults they would go to if they had any concerns and know adults will get help if they need it.”

To improve

• “A small number of foundation subjects do not yet fully match the ambition of the school.”
• “They have not been mapped out with the specific knowledge that pupils will learn in the same detail as the rest of the curriculum.”
• “The careers programme for the school is currently in development.”
