What the school should improve
- Some pupils become distracted and disengage from learning. Leaders should ensure that the school's behaviour policy is implemented consistently by staff in each key stage.
- The targets on support plans for pupils with SEND do not map out the steps for improvement that pupils should take clearly enough. Leaders should enhance support plans so that the progression of pupils with SEND through the curriculum can be mapped and checked more effectively.
