Strengths
- “Pupils are enthusiastic about their school.”
- “They appreciate that teachers know them well and provide the right balance of challenge and support.”
- “They greatly enjoy their learning.”
To improve
- “However, trustees do not have sufficiently strong oversight of safeguarding processes.”
- “In particular, the recording of safeguarding information does not always accurately capture the chronology of events, actions taken and rationale for staff's decisions.”
- “This has not put pupils at risk of harm, but impacts how well patterns of risk can be identified and promptly acted upon.”
Safeguarding: met
