Strengths
- “Pupils at Bridgewater Park thrive in the safe haven that leaders create for them.”
- “They enter school happily and are greeted by staff who know them well and are pleased to see them.”
- “Due to recent improvements, most pupils now attend school more regularly.”
To improve
- “Pupils say that bullying can happen.”
- “However, for some older pupils, gaps in what they know and remember from previous learning prevent them from achieving well in national curriculum tests.”
- “They recognise where the curriculum needs further refinement so that pupils secure the essential knowledge and vocabulary they need to be fully ready for the next stage of their learning.”
