Strengths
- “Very special things are happening at Calthorpe Academy.”
- “This community is driven to make every moment count for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “The school is determined that those needs will not limit pupils’ achievements or enjoyment of school and the world around them.”
To improve
- “Some other subjects are not yet as well developed or planned, but the school has recognised this and is working hard to make changes quickly.”
- “However, in some cases, pupils do not have the knowledge and skills that their new classmates have already learned, so they are not as well prepared as they might be to access lessons in the new pathways.”
