Strengths
- “This is a well-loved school that sits in the heart of the community.”
- “Pupils talk with pride about their school.”
- “Parents and carers view it as a place where their children are supported academically and emotionally.”
To improve
- “However, at times, provision and strategies to support those pupils with SEND who have more significant needs are not effective enough.”
- “This means that these pupils do not build levels of independence successfully and do not achieve as well as they could.”
- “However, the school’s new approach and high expectations are not fully understood by all staff and pupils.”
