Strengths
- “‘A world built on kindness’ underpins all that happens at this school.”
- “Staff instil in pupils the important values they need to be well prepared for life beyond Yavneh.”
- “Staff and pupils live and breathe ‘The Yavneh Way’ in all they do.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, the school does not always provide pupils with the precise support they need to apply what they learn about handwriting, grammar, punctuation and spelling into their independent work.”
- “This limits how well these pupils write.”
