Strengths

“Pupils are proud to be part of this inclusive school, where all are treated with kindness.”
“There is a calm and kind atmosphere here.”
“Staff know pupils well and foster a culture of mutual respect and care.”

To improve

“Nevertheless, too many do not attend school as often as they need to.”
“Pupils usually produce work of a high standard, although this is not consistent.”
“However, leaders are working to ensure that staff consistently check pupils’ understanding well in lessons, so that gaps in their knowledge are identified quicker and addressed more promptly.”
