Strengths
- “Tany’s Dell is a very happy school.”
- “In this safe environment, pupils develop independence and confidence.”
- “They approach adults with big smiles on their faces, and engage maturely in conversation.”
To improve
- “While this is mostly the case, in a few subjects, such as geography and personal, social and health education (PSHE), the subject content is less clearly designed.”
- “Leaders do not identify what should be taught and when.”
- “Consequently, on occasion, pupils recall their learning less well.”
