Pupils are welcomed each day by staff who genuinely care about them. Leaders say learning is child led. Pupils choose topics that interest them. While this engages some, it does not suit all. Leaders have not considered the content that pupils need to learn and when they need to learn it. Learning, therefore, is disconnected and does not help pupils to learn and remember more. Pupils are not well prepared for their next steps. All pupils have personal behaviour plans. However, leaders do not ensure that these are followed. As a result, some pupils display challenging, unsafe behaviour. Leaders have not ensured that staff have the expertise or training they need to support pupils well. Many pupils attending the school have gaps in their previous learning. Pupils do not attend regularly enough to ensure these gaps are met. Leaders do not ensure that checks on the well-being and learning of these pupils are made regularly enough. Pupils enjoy reading. Precise phonics teaching helps them to tackle new words. Pupils become confident readers over time. Pupils experience opportunities outside of the classroom. They enjoy visits to local attractions and benefit from learning within the school’s spacious grounds.
