Strengths
- “Being a pupil at The Retreat means being seen, heard and believed in.”
- “Yet, from the moment they step through the door, they are met with warmth, compassion and unwavering belief in their potential.”
- “Staff understand pupils’ needs deeply and create a calm, nurturing space where trust can grow.”
To improve
- “However, while in some cases pupils are provided with opportunities to respond well to feedback and improve, in others they do not have opportunities to respond to teacher comments or complete follow-up tasks.”
- “This limits pupils’ opportunities to correct mistakes and effectively deepen their understanding.”
- “However, the delivery of the curriculum is not always explicit enough.”
