Strengths
- “Pupils learn to feel safe, trust others and get back on track with their education during their time at Westbury School.”
- “Sasha, the therapy dog, and all staff warmly greet each pupil every morning, and say goodbye at the end of the school day.”
- “They feel valued, nurtured and cared for.”
To improve
- “On occasions, the activities provide a surface level of learning rather than a deepening of knowledge.”
- “When this is the case, it stops pupils from learning as well as they could.”
