Strengths
- “Staff take time to understand pupils’ complex social, emotional and mental health needs.”
- “They use this knowledge effectively to build strong working and trusting relationships with pupils.”
- “As a result, pupils settle well.”
To improve
- “There are times when pupils get dysregulated and need help to manage their emotions and behaviour.”
- “This means that they tend to arrive at this school with much less knowledge than would be typical for their age.”
- “In the secondary phase, teaching tends to focus more on checking pupils’ comprehension skills and less so on identifying and responding to specific gaps in phonics knowledge.”
