Strengths
- “Pupils, parents and carers, staff and those responsible for leadership and governance all agree that Orchard Manor is a school where pupils flourish and thrive.”
- “The school’s values sit at the centre of what is now a school where pupils learn and develop towards successful and aspirational futures.”
- “The expectations that the school has of its pupils stem from the staff’s dedication of wanting the very best for the pupils socially and emotionally, as well as academically.”
To improve
- “The school is working to ensure that there is a clear strategy and overview of this area.”
- “However, there is a need to refine the approach to increasing pupils’ independence in their learning and development, enabling greater autonomy without defaulting to adult support such as physical or verbal prompts.”
- “The school is aware of the need to develop other areas in the wider curriculum.”
