Strengths
- “Pupils are very proud of their vibrant and inclusive school.”
- “Pupils from a wide range of backgrounds mix happily together.”
- “Relationships between staff and pupils are strong and supportive.”
To improve
- “Some subjects have new leadership, and consequently the curriculum thinking is less well developed.”
- “However, they do not consistently adapt their teaching so that pupils with SEND are supported to achieve their very best.”
- “The strong practice that supports pupils’ reading which is found in English is not yet secure in other subjects.”
