Strengths
- “Cross Keys Learning is an inclusive and nurturing place.”
- “Pupils overcome many significant challenges because the school enables them to become resilient and resourceful.”
- “Many pupils describe how much they value the ability to be themselves and not feel judged unfavourably because of their special educational needs and/or disabilities.”
To improve
- “Prior to attending the school, most pupils have not had a successful education experience.”
- “However, a significant minority of pupils do not attend school often enough and miss out on vital learning.”
- “However, in some wider curriculum subjects, sometimes staff do not check pupils’ understanding before moving on to new content.”
