Read what Ofsted said (5)

From Ofsted report, inspected Feb 2024

Strengths

  • “The school has high expectations of all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
  • “One parent, typical of many, said, ‘The school goes the extra mile to get to know children, parents and carers.”
  • “This genuine interest helps make everyone welcome and allows the pupils to feel at ease and thrive.’”

To improve

  • “Sometimes, teaching and resources are not as routinely well adapted for all pupils with SEND in mainstream classes.”
  • “The school should continue to ensure that teaching and resources are routinely adapted to meet the needs of all pupils with SEND.”
