What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
The education that pupils receive at Baytree School is exceptional. The school's ambitious sensory and subject-specific curriculums, education, health and care plan (EHC plan) targets and dedicated staff team ensure no limit to pupils' achievements. The 'golden threads' of communication and independence help pupils secure their voice and important life skills. Nothing is left to chance. Every moment in school provides pupils with meaningful opportunities to learn and triumph. Pupils thrive and 'make the most of every day'. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Staff and pupils treat each other with kindness and respect. Pupils thoroughly enjoy school and attend regularly. Some pupils cannot attend school due to complex medical needs. However, the skilled and compassionate outreach team works with these pupils in the hospital or at home. This enables pupils to continue their education and remain part of the 'Baytree Family'. Parents and carers describe the relationship with the school as a partnership. Pupils leave the school equipped with the knowledge and skills to keep themselves safe. The school's holistic approach to pupils' development leads to superb outcomes. Opportunities for pupils to complete work experience and community-based activities are frequent and purposeful. Pupils learn to make informed choices and build friendships. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education and life outside school.
