Strengths
- “Pupils of all ages learn and play together happily.”
- “Whether sitting and chatting over lunch, or playing tennis at playtime, older pupils include the youngest in all they do.”
- “These pupils are made to feel welcome.”
To improve
- “At times, some of this support does not always have the desired effect.”
- “Leaders do not ensure that teachers have specific guidance about what help pupils need.”
- “Teachers make adaptions, but these are not always as effective in helping pupils to make the progress of which they are capable.”
