Strengths

To improve
- “In a small number of lessons, teachers do not adapt their lessons effectively to what pupils know.”

- “While SEND pupils currently achieve less well than their peers, leaders have a strong focus on helping them to make progress through the use of teacher ‘SEND Champions’.”
