Strengths
- “The school has high expectations of the achievement and behaviour of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Well-established routines from early years to Year 6 enable pupils to meet these expectations.”
- “As a result, pupils are able to focus on their learning and most achieve well.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not use the plans consistently to adapt their teaching to meet these pupils’ needs.”
- “Consequently, pupils with SEND do not always achieve as well as they could.”
- “Despite this, some pupils are absent from school too often.”
