Strengths

  • “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils.”
  • “Pupils achieve well here.”
  • “Leaders provide an ambitious and carefully planned curriculum.”

To improve

  • “Leaders do not ensure that targets for pupils with SEND are shared with all staff clearly.”
  • “This means that, sometimes, support for pupils with SEND is not closely matched to their needs.”
  • “Leaders must ensure that they have clear systems in place to ensure that all pupils with SEND receive support tailored to their specific needs.”
