- “They describe it as a place which helps them to feel safe and where learning is fun.”
- “Pupils talk confidently about how the school’s ‘REACH’ values help them to take care of others, try new things and to work hard.”
To improve
- “However, in some areas of the curriculum, some staff do not routinely adapt learning well enough to fully support pupils and their individual needs.”
