Strengths
- “Belonging is a defining feature of school life.”
- “Pupils describe a community where differences are respected and where, ‘It is ok to be different.”
- “Relationships between staff, pupils and families are warm, supportive and built on mutual respect.”
To improve
- “While many pupils write well, some are still developing confidence and accuracy in spelling and handwriting.”
- “Leaders are aware that this needs to be replicated to support pupils' writing.”
- “Current actions are improving this support, though variability in assessment and checking for understanding in some subjects can still limit how effectively adaptations are implemented.”
