Strengths

“Pupils describe Birklands as a place where they feel known, valued and supported.”
“Staff take time to understand pupils as individuals and build positive relationships with them and their families.”
“This helps pupils feel that they belong and gives them the confidence to take part fully in school life.”

To improve

“Leaders recognise that some recent improvement work has not yet resulted in consistency across all subjects and classes.”
“At times, teachers do not check what pupils know and remember about their learning.”
“This means that there are occasions when teachers do not make precise adaptations or address gaps in pupils' understanding.”
