Strengths
- “The Wildings significantly changes pupils’ and families’ lives for the better.”
- “The Wildings throws a protective blanket around these pupils and allows them to flourish.”
- “It does so by quickly getting to know their personalities, backgrounds and interests.”
To improve
- “However, some staff’s expectations of what pupils can achieve are not high enough.”
- “Some learning that is provided does not match the high ambition of the curriculum.”
- “When this happens, pupils do not build their knowledge as well.”
