Strengths
- “Caring relationships form the foundation of this school.”
- “Staff are dedicated to helping pupils to develop a strong sense of community and belonging.”
- “Pupils are well supported emotionally and academically.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, staff have not received the subject-specific training that they need to help them teach some aspects of these curriculums.”
- “This makes it difficult for them to design learning that helps pupils to learn the full curriculum.”
- “It also means that a small number of pupils develop some misconceptions in their learning.”
