Strengths
- “Some staff adapt teaching well so that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, or those who have previously faced disruption to their education, can make progress from their starting points.”
- “Pupils who have struggled to engage positively with their education in the past, settle into school well.”
- “They generally take an interest in their learning.”
To improve
- “Pupils do not experience consistently effective teaching.”
- “This means that, at times, they do not benefit from learning that is closely matched to their needs.”
- “However, this practice is not applied consistently well and limits how well some pupils achieve.”
