Strengths
- “This small, friendly school is a beacon of light for the pupils who come here.”
- “The school marks a welcome turning point.”
- “Once they join, pupils rediscover their appetite for learning.”
To improve
- “Most have experienced considerable barriers and disruption to their earlier education.”
- “In a very small number of subjects, some of these steps are less clearly defined for key stage 4 than they are for key stage 3.”
- “Where this happens, it makes it more difficult for staff to ensure that pupils in key stage 4 learn the essential knowledge that they need to know in readiness for the next stage in their education.”
