What the school should improve
- Occasionally, some pupils are given work that does not meet their needs appropriately. This means some pupils, including some pupils with SEND, can over rely on adult support or are not challenged enough. The school should ensure pupils are given work that meets their needs and adults provide consistent support in lessons to enable pupils to achieve well.
