Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this specialist school because staff understand their needs very well.”
- “They create highly personalised experiences that help pupils achieve, belong and flourish.”
- “They quickly develop trusting relationships with staff who know them well and support them with sensitivity and expertise.”
To improve
- “However, variation in the implementation of the curriculum means that pupils do not always build the depth of knowledge needed to support their learning consistently across all subjects.”
- “In a minority of instances, pupils' work does not align fully with the planned sequence of learning.”
- “Consequently, curriculum thinking is not consistently translated into classroom practice.”
