Strengths
- “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.”
To improve
- “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.”
