Strengths
- “Pupils at Mesne Lea are well known and valued as individuals.”
- “Their unique characters and successes are recognised and celebrated.”
- “This helps pupils to feel safe and included.”
To improve
- “However, although many pupils learn well, some do not achieve as well as they could over time.”
- “This limits their readiness for the next stage in some instances.”
- “However, there is more to do to ensure that a small number of pupils who continue to miss learning, including those who are disadvantaged, attend regularly.”
