Strengths
- “The sense of community is tangible in this inclusive school.”
- “Pupils thrive under the care of staff who know them well.”
- “The ‘REACH’ values of respect, equality, ambition, care and hard work are an everyday part of school life.”
To improve
- “For pupils who sat their GCSEs in 2024, the progress from their starting points in a small number of subjects was lower than the national average.”
- “This is because, in the past, gaps in pupils’ knowledge in these subjects were not identified and addressed well enough.”
- “However, some older pupils are not receiving the support needed to develop their reading skills.”
