Strengths
- “JP Alternative Education has a highly successful approach to working with pupils who, in the past, have struggled in their previous schools.”
- “It uses the extensive school grounds to re-engage pupils in learning and help them to manage their behaviour.”
- “The school curriculum is broad, ambitious and well planned in nearly all subjects.”
To improve
- “A few subjects are not as well planned, but the school is addressing this.”
- “However, pupils who have progressed beyond the phonics programme do not get sufficient support to develop their reading skills further.”
