Strengths
- “Caring staff, an ambitious curriculum and new buildings are all driving improvements for pupils.”
- “Leaders aim to help pupils ‘unleash their limitless potential’.”
- “Staff, parents, carers and pupils are united in making this vision a reality.”
To improve
- “However, some staff use too many words at once or do not support communication well enough.”
- “This overloads the pupil’s ability to understand, making learning harder.”
- “Since the COVID-19 pandemic, some pupils’ attendance has dropped, and they are not attending school as much as they should.”
