“Managers and staff promote well and continuously evaluate and monitor equality and diversity. Leaders and governors review detailed data on achievement to ensure provision meets students’ requirements across all levels of need, learning difficulties and/or disabilities. Managers and staff ensure students have appropriate aids and adaptations to promote access to learning to meet their needs. The use of assistive technology to support learning is good.”
