Strengths
- “School days begin with the calm, predictability and care that the pupils at Riverside need.”
- “The school has rightly prioritised the importance of building positive relationships with pupils once they arrive.”
- “This helps pupils to build a sense of safety and trust in their new school.”
To improve
- “Pupils talk about previous experiences in education where their needs were not met effectively and, as a result, some pupils faced being bullied, overwhelmed in school and not wanting to attend.”
- “Further work to embed pupils’ literacy and numeracy skills, across all curriculum subjects, continues to be developed by leaders.”
- “Some pupils do not attend as well as they might because of their previous educational experiences.”
