“Pupils at Castlewood are surrounded by something increasingly evident; hope.”
“It can be seen in the way they are welcomed each morning, where the start of the day is calm and flexible, allowing pupils time to settle, read or speak with trusted adults before learning begins.”
“Adults show patience and determination, and pupils are cared for with sincerity and purpose.”

“Pupils recognise that behaviour is not always perfect, but they see that staff help them to return to learning.”
“Attendance is improving, although it remains lower than expected for some pupils.”
“Teaching is generally clear and purposeful, although this is not yet consistent across all lessons.”
