What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 June 2024
Broadmeadow Special School is warm and welcoming to everyone. Pupils are well cared for and staff go the extra mile to make pupils feel safe and happy. This embodies the school's mission that 'together we enable and motivate'. The school takes time to build caring relationships with pupils and they receive effective support when they join the school. As a result, parents are confident that the school has their child's best interest at heart. Staff keep parents updated with important information because they know the pupils well. These positive relationships continue throughout school. Staff understand that sometimes pupils can get upset when they cannot quickly communicate their needs to others. As a result, right from the start, staff work hard to give pupils an effective communication system which works for them. This ensures pupils keep focused on their learning in lessons and behave well in school. Pupils enjoy going to visit local places of interest, such as the park and local shops. This helps them to practise important basic skills for life, such as paying for things and crossing the road. Pupils say that trips are 'lots of fun'.
What the school should improve
- The school does not always provide pupils with the activities or resources they need to learn the important information set out within the curriculum. This means that some pupils are not gaining the knowledge they need in all subjects. The school should ensure that all staff receive training so that they can deliver the intended curriculum in ways that ensure pupils remember the explicit knowledge identified in the curriculum.
- The school does not consistently use the information it collects to evaluate the impact of its work. As a result, leaders cannot assure themselves that everything they are doing is effective. The school should evaluate all of the important information they hold to assure themselves that their strategies are working and, where needed, identify further areas for improvement.
