Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from being able to regulate, reflect and build confidence.”
- “Staff help pupils manage feelings and develop positive behaviour.”
- “Pupils know they have safe spaces to share worries and thoughts.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils do not achieve well enough overall and for some pupils this includes weaknesses in their writing.”
- “Barriers to learning are not removed consistently enough for some pupils, and some have gaps in their knowledge that do not close quickly.”
- “Pupils’ positive attitudes to learning are not yet reflected in their academic outcomes and in some cases this limits how well prepared some pupils are for their next steps.”
