“Pupils learn in a safe and nurturing environment where staff know them well and understand their individual needs.”
“Pupils settle quickly because they receive carefully planned admissions and personalised transition arrangements that help them to feel secure and ready to learn.”
“Pupils access support shaped by clear assessments, including prompt therapeutic checks that allow staff to tailor help precisely.”

“Some pupils make rapid progress, although a few pupils still struggle to remember earlier learning.”
“Occasionally, teaching does not include these positive features.”
“When this happens, expectations of pupils are unclear and teaching misses opportunities to check understanding, which reduces pupils' progress.”
