Strengths
- “Innov4te Independent School is truly a special school.”
- “For pupils, the school feels like a second chance, a place where they are understood, supported and encouraged to succeed.”
- “Parents, carers, and members of the community combine in their praise of the difference the school makes for young people.”
To improve
- “However, in some other subjects, there is variability in how well the school checks and addresses pupils’ knowledge gaps.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to build their knowledge and be ready for their next steps.”
- “However, some aspects of the careers programme are not as well established.”
