Comprehensive safeguarding procedures with designated leads and staff training planned
Strong leadership team with significant experience in specialist education and SEND
Detailed assessment framework linking to pupils' education, health and care plans
Extensive plans to promote fundamental British values and teach pupils to respect others

Areas for Improvement

Curriculum for pupils aged 5-6 lacks adequate content for oracy, writing and physical development
No outside learning area currently provided for pupils aged 5-6
Kitchen facilities not yet fully completed and need fire risk assessment
Secondary glazing for historic windows not yet fitted
Some final building works and staff recruitment still in progress

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is likely to be effective with an electronic recording system in place, designated safeguarding leads appointed, and comprehensive staff training planned according to Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024 guidance.

Extracurricular Activities
