Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this highly inclusive school.”
- “They describe it fondly as ‘the Swell family’.”
- “Every pupil is known as an individual and their identity is celebrated.”
To improve
- “Attendance falls short of national expectations because of the nature of this smaller-than-average school.”
- “Because of the school’s small size, this is not always reflected in published outcomes.”
- “However, the school's published outcomes in national tests do not fully reflect the knowledge pupils are gaining.”
