Strengths
- “Pupils follow a broad and increasingly personalised curriculum that helps many to engage in learning.”
- “Pupils receive additional support, including therapy and targeted interventions, which help reduce barriers.”
- “In some lessons, pupils enjoy learning and build on what they already know.”
To improve
- “However, achievement is not consistent because teaching and adjustments to learning do not routinely match pupils' needs.”
- “Pupils sometimes complete work without fully understanding key ideas.”
- “Unaddressed gaps in reading and mathematics knowledge slow progress.”
