Areas for Improvement

- Leadership of special educational needs provision is at an early stage with limited impact on pupil progress
- Teaching quality is variable between classes within the same year group and not consistently good

- Curriculum is not well balanced with limited opportunities to develop skills across subjects other than English and mathematics
Safeguarding
