Strengths
- “Lyng Hall School welcomes everyone.”
- “Staff ‘go the extra mile’ to help pupils.”
- “They support those who are new to the school well so that they settle quickly into the learning community.”
To improve
- “Nonetheless, pupils in the main school often do not learn and remember as much as they should.”
- “However, the curriculum is not put into practice consistently.”
- “As a result, not all pupils add to their knowledge as effectively as they should, and outcomes at key stage 4 remain low.”
