The school has a strong focus on inclusion, personal development, and wellbeing, with a relentless commitment to enhancing the experiences and opportunities provided to all pupils.

Strengths:

• Pupils benefit from a calm and supportive learning environment, with very positive relationships with staff and other pupils.
• Pupils are well supported to develop positive attitudes to their learning, with a focus on removing any barriers to learning.
• The school has a deep understanding of the school's context and the disadvantages that pupils may face, with a robust culture of early assessment and expert understanding of barriers faced by pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, disadvantaged pupils, and those known to social care.
• Pupils experience a tangible sense of belonging and importance, with a relentless commitment by leaders to enhance the experiences and opportunities provided to all pupils.
• The school's personal, social and health education programme is deftly tailored to the school's context, with a focus on preparing pupils for life beyond school.

Areas to improve:

• Leaders should ensure that teachers' checks on pupils' learning identify errors and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge and skills consistently well so that these can be addressed swiftly.
• Governors should deepen their understanding of the impact of the school's curriculum priorities so that they are well placed to support and challenge leaders' actions to develop the curriculum, teaching and pupils' achievement.

Safeguarding: The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders and/or those responsible for governance and oversight fulfilling their specific responsibilities and having established an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed.
