Include Suffolk has shown significant improvement since its previous inspection, moving from requiring improvement to being rated as good overall. The school is dedicated to providing a supportive environment for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, helping them to re-engage with learning despite previous challenges. Staff prioritize building trusting relationships and effectively understand pupils' needs, creating a safe and nurturing setting that promotes positive behaviour and attitudes towards learning. Although there are strong aspects to the curriculum and pupil support systems, there remain some areas for development to ensure all pupils achieve their full potential.
