Bedelsford School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 June 2024

This is a school where pupils' every achievement is celebrated and where pupils are proud of themselves and one another's successes. Every pupil learns the skills they need to participate in learning, develops their independence and contributes to the wider community. Staff build strong and impactful working relationships with pupils. They get to know them exceptionally well. Staff understand subtleties expressed in pupils' behaviour and communication. This helps staff to ensure that pupils feel safe and happy. It also means that pupils' behaviour is supported and managed well. The school encourages pupils to take on different roles and responsibilities. Pupils can choose to become members of the school council, sports leaders and ambassadors who guide and support the younger pupils. Pupils also have the opportunity to apply and be interviewed for internal work experience posts or school-community tasks. The school fosters strong relationships with parents and carers. Leaders communicate with them regularly and many parents said they appreciate this. The school's work goes beyond supporting pupils who attend the school. There are regular parent workshops delivered by a multidisciplinary team. These cover important topics such as encouraging communication at home and supporting transition into adulthood.
