Strengths
- “The child is at the heart of this inclusive school.”
- “The mantra that ‘every child matters, every moment counts’ shines through.”
- “Pupils flourish at this school and are proud to be part of it.”
To improve
- “However, the school is aware that pupils’ writing is not as well developed across the curriculum.”
- “As a result, pupils do not demonstrate through their written work the depth of subject knowledge they have learned.”
- “Over time, governors had not held school leaders accountable.”
