- “Parents describe the school as ‘life changing’ and ‘fantastic’, noting that their children gain confidence and thrive here.”

To improve
- “While these adaptations become embedded, in some subjects the curriculum is not as well matched to pupils’ needs as it could be.”

- “This impacts some pupils’ ability to read words fluently.”
