Strengths
- “Pupils develop a clear sense of belonging at Kings Meadow, supported by warm, trusting and respectful relationships with staff.”
- “Pupils know that adults will help them and support them to face challenges, and for many this represents their first sustained positive experience of education.”
- “The school provides a highly tailored environment that enables them to re-engage with learning following earlier disruption.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ experiences of the coherently designed curriculum are not yet consistently effective, and academic progress remains variable.”
- “As a result, some pupils are not as well prepared for the next stage of their education as they could be.”
- “Attendance is improving for some pupils through personalised approaches, although it remains too low for others, meaning some pupils continue to miss important learning opportunities.”
