Strengths
- “Orion School helps pupils to re-engage with education.”
- “Staff build strong, trusting relationships with pupils and understand their needs and anxieties well.”
- “Over time, this helps pupils to settle, feel valued and begin to see themselves as successful learners.”
To improve
- “This has affected their confidence and behaviour.”
- “However, missed opportunities to address gaps in pupils understanding in other areas of the curriculum, mean that not all pupils achieve as well as they could.”
- “While, staff are ambitious for pupils to achieve, not all receive the necessary support to enable them to do so.”
