Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this school.”
- “They enjoy learning and are ambitious for their futures.”
- “The care and support that staff offer to pupils is second to none.”
To improve
- “At times, some of the information on pupils’ education, health and care (EHC) plans is not reflected on pupils’ individual targets.”
- “As a result, support for pupils’ needs beyond their SEMH needs is sometimes not as precise as it could be.”
