What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the learning which teachers provide for pupils with SEND is not consistently well matched to their ability. This means that some pupils with SEND may not be achieving as well as they could. The school should continue to refine the curriculum and develop teachers' expertise further so that they know how to match learning consistently well to meet the needs of pupils with SEND and help them to achieve their best.
