Our last one was awarded a "needs improvement" score, so we were thrilled when we found out that we have improved. But that's not all, as we aim to improve further.

Highlights

Pupils learn a coherent curriculum. They benefit from the high expectations for their learning and behaviour. The one-to-one lessons mostly help pupils focus and work hard. Pupils build up their knowledge over time.

Leaders have put an ambitious curriculum in place that meets pupils' needs. It identifies what pupils need to know to learn successfully. The curriculum breaks down the learning that pupils should understand and remember, such as important subject vocabulary. Staff help pupils connect new content to what they have learned before. As a result, pupils develop detailed knowledge across different subjects.

Leaders' therapeutic approach helps pupils to access the curriculum. Pupils' needs are identified accurately, such as through initial assessments when they join the school. Leaders and staff work closely to set and review well-considered targets. These help pupils make progress. In lessons, staff check learning closely, and correct pupils' misconceptions. Pupils understand that mistakes are part of the learning process. This enables them to develop their confidence and independence.
