Strengths
- “Pupils find sanctuary, safety and success at North Star 82°.”
- “However, pupils benefit from skilled staff, who build strong, trusting relationships.”
- “Staff work hard to promote a sense of belonging.”
To improve
- “However, despite relationships with parents being positive, more could be done to harness and involve them in their children’s learning.”
- “This is reflected in pupils’ individual plans, which are often too generalised.”
- “Planning is newer in some subjects, and so in these areas, pupils’ learning is less secure.”
