What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Leaders have significantly improved the standard of education experienced by pupils at Cambian Beverley School. Pupils behave well and are safeguarded effectively. They benefit from a range of carefully designed wider personal development experiences. These opportunities build pupils' character and confidence well. All pupils attending the school have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Most pupils have previously experienced a disrupted education. The school provides pupils with an ambitious education and supportive care that meets their education, health and care (EHC) plans well. This ensures that pupils are well prepared for their next steps in education, training or employment. As a result of the school's work, most pupils demonstrate improved attitudes to education. Many pupils attend school more regularly than their previous school. New pupils settle quickly into school life and begin learning again. The school develops pupils' positive attitudes to learning well. Pupils value the work of the school. They recognise the clear difference that the school is making to their lives. Pupils are well behaved in and around the school. Pupils and staff develop highly secure relationships. Adults help pupils when they have any worries or concerns. As a result, pupils feel safe and supported in school.
What the school should improve
- The school does not have a systematic synthetic phonics programme in place. This means that some pupils in the earlier stages of reading do not develop the knowledge and skills they need to become fluent readers. The school should ensure that a systematic synthetic phonics programme is implemented fully, and that staff have the knowledge and skills to teach phonics effectively.
- A small number of pupils are persistently absent from school. They miss essential learning which negatively impacts their education and wider development. The school should reinvigorate its work with pupils and their families to overcome any barriers to regular attendance.
