Strengths
- “Pupils talk very positively about their school.”
- “Recent changes that leaders have made ensure that pupils behave well, learn successfully and are kept safe.”
- “They make friends here and are well cared for by staff who are ambitious for what they can achieve.”
To improve
- “However, for some pupils with SEND, the targets set for them, for example to help improve their writing, are sometimes not well matched to their needs and starting points.”
- “However, in relation to pupils' writing, some of these checks on learning are not consistently informing next steps in teaching precisely enough.”
- “Therefore, some misconceptions remain or opportunities to extend pupils' writing knowledge and skills are not maximised.”
