What the school should improve
- In a few curriculum areas, the support for pupils who fall behind is not ambitious or regular enough to enable pupils to catch up quickly. The school needs to ensure that the adaptations and provision for these pupils are precisely planned so that pupils can meet the ambitions of the curriculum, catch up with their peers and develop independence.
