Strengths

- “Pupils and staff enjoy being part of the ‘Glapton family’.”
- “The headteacher and staff want the very best for all pupils.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not systematically build upon what pupils have learned previously.”
- “As a result, some pupils struggle to recall what they have learned over time.”
- “However, in a small number of cases, teachers do not adapt lessons carefully enough for pupils with SEND.”
