Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and safe in this caring school community.”
- “The school prioritises pupils’ well-being and gives them every opportunity to thrive.”
- “School staff work collaboratively with clinical, therapeutic and home staff to help pupils overcome any barriers to their learning.”
To improve
- “Mixed-age classes for the full primary phase means that the school is having to adapt to a wide range of pupils’ diverse needs.”
- “While the school ensures that any curriculum changes provide a quality offer for all pupils, the implementation of this offer is not yet checked robustly, nor are any identified actions reviewed effectively for impact.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
