Strengths
- “Mutual respect and positive relationships are at the heart of this school community.”
- “Yet, with patience, care and humour, staff help pupils to feel safe, welcome, understood and cherished.”
- “Pupils develop a deep sense of belonging to the school, which they describe as a family.”
To improve
- “Following disrupted experiences of school previously, pupils typically do not value education when they first arrive.”
- “Many pupils arrive in the school low in confidence and with little faith that education has anything to offer them.”
- “However, some checks on pupils' understanding do not closely match what they have been taught.”
