Strengths
- “They know these as their ‘HOWELs’ and say they enable you to ‘get smart’, ‘try hard’ and ‘be kind’.”
- “Pupils treat each other with respect and are accepting of difference.”
- “Pupils say staff follow things up if they do ever have a worry or concern.”
To improve
- “Despite this, a minority of pupils do not read as fluently as they should.”
- “This is because adults are not always trained well enough to provide the precise support needed to close fluency gaps.”
