Strengths
- “This is a successful school, permeated by warm and happy relationships.”
- “All adults share high aspirations for pupils, and pupils work hard to meet these.”
- “Parents are effusive in their praise of the school, valuing the care and support that their children are provided, especially for pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “However, this is not as realised in some foundation subjects meaning that staff do not always have the full sense of what pupils have understood or remembered.”
- “However, while this personalised approach is making a difference, the school does not always stand back and look at patterns and trends in attendance strategically enough.”
- “This means that it is not as effective in identifying those at risk of poor attendance, meaning that pre-emptive steps are not taken to prevent this from becoming a bigger issue.”
