Strengths

“Pupils enjoy coming to Bhylls Acre.”
“They speak positively about their day‑to‑day experiences and say that they feel welcomed, valued and included.”
“Relationships with staff and peers are warm and respectful.”

To improve

“Due to previous weaknesses in provision, some pupils, and especially older pupils, have gaps in their learning and most notably in writing.”
“Current evidence shows that while these gaps are closing, a few pupils in the school do not consistently write with accuracy or neatly.”
“Sometimes, teachers do not probe pupils’ understanding in enough depth.”
