What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not choose activities that match curriculum goals or pupils' needs. This means that some pupils do not learn as well as leaders expect. Leaders should further develop teachers' expertise in implementing the curriculum.
- Some pupils with SEND do not have their needs identified and managed precisely enough. This limits leaders' ability to meet these pupils' needs. Leaders should ensure that staff understand and apply the school's approach to identifying the needs of pupils with SEND accurately.
