Ofsted Says
-
Granton is a very lively and welcoming school. Pupils love coming to school and have a real enthusiasm for learning.
-
The curriculum is extremely rich and provides a very secure framework for teaching and learning. Subjects such as art, music, and design and technology give pupils experience of working on real projects.
-
Teachers have detailed knowledge of their pupils meaning that they can match learning to specific individual needs. This helps pupils to gain confidence and make rapid progress. Teaching assistants are well trained to support individuals and small groups very effectively. This particularly helps pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities to make at least good progress from their different starting points.
