Strengths
- “Leaders and staff help pupils to re-engage in learning.”
- “The carefully managed induction process helps pupils to settle quickly.”
- “Pupils gain a sense of belonging and soon enjoy attending school regularly.”
To improve
- “Some have been out of education for several years.”
- “However, in some other subjects the school could fill the gaps in pupils’ learning that they know about more quickly.”
- “For example, in reading, a few secondary pupils are not getting the support they need to learn to read while others are not developing their depth of comprehension quickly enough.”
