At Cherry Trees School, not all pupils receive a good enough education. Leaders have begun to identify what they want pupils to learn, but the curriculum is not always ambitious and does not meet pupils’ needs. Pupils, including those in the early years, are not always taught things in the right order to help them learn and remember more. Reading is not taught well. Leaders know this and have begun to put this right. Some teachers use the sensory curriculum well to plan learning activities for the pupils who are at the early stages of development. Pupils are happy to come to school and are warmly welcomed by staff each day. Staff help pupils to learn routines so that they become increasingly independent. Pupils have some opportunities to engage in activities that will help them develop their understanding of the wider world. However, leaders have not planned these opportunities well enough. Leaders have focused on improving pupils’ behaviour. Pupils know how to behave. When pupils struggle, staff are quick to support them. Bullying is dealt with quickly and pupils feel safe in school.
