Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this school.”
- “They know they are well cared for and valued.”
- “In return, pupils are kind and respectful.”
To improve
- “However, some staff across the school are not always using checks on learning to adapt activities precisely enough to what pupils need to learn next.”
- “This means some pupils are not having their learning extended to maximise what they are capable of to achieve more highly.”
- “However, while pupils with SEND are set specific targets to fill gaps, there is not always sufficient precision as to how these targets are to be met in the short term.”
