No Ofsted grade

“Pupils enjoy coming to this school because they feel safe and trust that staff will look after them well.”
“Small-group and one-to-one individualised learning enable staff to meet the needs of each pupil, build strong professional relationships and support pupils’ learning needs.”
“As a result, pupils who may have typically found it difficult to settle into other school settings are much happier to come to this school than previous schools.”

“However, this curriculum thinking and sequencing is not equally secure in all subjects.”
“Where leaders have not thought about the key knowledge that they want pupils to know and remember, or the order in which they should learn it, some pupils sometimes find it hard to apply what they already know to attempt more complex concepts.”
“However, where checks on pupils' knowledge are not as routinely in place, staff are not as securely aware of what pupils know and understand and whether they are ready to move on to new learning.”
