Strengths
- “Pupils arrive each morning, greeted warmly by caring staff.”
- “From the early years, staff create a reassuring start to the day.”
- “Pupils of all ages thrive in the school’s nurturing atmosphere.”
To improve
- “However, a significant minority of pupils do not attend school on a regular basis.”
- “This makes it harder for them to learn well, develop their social skills and to sustain friendships.”
- “However, in 2025 this fell below the achievement of other pupils nationally due to a combination of unforeseen circumstances beyond leaders’ control.”
