Strengths

- “The values of resilience, resourcefulness, risk-taking, responsibility and respect are what all pupils endeavour to put into practice every day at Speenhamland.”
- “The whole community is inclusive.”
To improve
- “However, this valuable information is not always used to steer subsequent learning for all pupils, classes or subjects.”
- “This means that pupils’ progress through the curriculum is not always as effective as it could be.”
- “These necessary developments, especially in mathematics, are still in their early stages.”
