No Ofsted grade

“Pupils thrive at this nurturing and caring school.”
“Staff quickly get to know pupils and understand their specific special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), as well as their individual interests and aspirations.”
“This helps staff to put in place a curriculum that enables pupils to quickly re-engage with education.”

“However, there is not a clear approach to how teachers reinforce the important building blocks of writing taught in key skills sessions across subjects.”
“Sometimes, pupils do not secure this knowledge quickly enough.”
“This can mean some pupils do not communicate their understanding or ideas when writing as well as they could.”
