Inspection excerpt

Verbatim from the published report (School inspection: Good School inspection · 30 January 2024). Open the full PDF for context.

This is a highly inclusive school. The individual needs of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are well known by staff.
