Strengths
- “Pupils develop their resilience, confidence and self-esteem during their time at this school.”
- “Their attendance improves, often significantly so.”
- “Secondary-age pupils on long-term placements successfully gain a range of qualifications, including in GCSE and work-related courses.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, pupils who have higher prior attainment from their initial assessments are not challenged in their academic learning as well as they could be.”
- “Sometimes, pupils with higher academic starting points from their initial assessments are not as well supported to deepen their knowledge and understanding.”
- “That said, secondary-age pupils' punctuality for the start of school is not as high.”
