Strengths
- “When pupils join Bescot Hall, they often get a new start in life, not just education.”
- “Very quickly, many pupils’ attitudes to school and learning transform.”
- “This is because they feel safe.”
To improve
- “However, this can mean that the opportunities for pupils to develop their writing skills are limited.”
- “As a result, they do not make the same gains in their writing as they do in other areas of the curriculum.”
- “Some pupils have yet to secure some of the basic foundations of writing.”
