Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from a warm and accepting school community, irrespective of their background or previous experiences.”
- “The pastoral and therapeutic support pupils receive help them to overcome personal challenges and be ready to learn.”
- “They value the care that staff afford them and the guidance they receive if they have a problem.”
To improve
- “Although staff work with parents and carers to remove barriers to participation, some pupils do not attend school regularly enough.”
- “This means that these pupils do not make the most of what the school offers.”
- “However, their experiences across classrooms remain uneven.”
