What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 September 2025
Pupils are well cared for and supported in this nurturing and inclusive school. Many arrive having had negative educational experiences. Pupils are often reluctant to work alongside others, including both peers and staff, when they join the school. This changes quickly due to the school's expert therapeutic and pastoral support. Within a short time, pupils begin to develop the social and interaction skills they need to successfully take part in group activities. Staff build strong, positive relationships with pupils, based on mutual respect and trust. This makes pupils feel happy. Staff understand and meet pupils' medical, educational and care needs very well. From the start, they take time to get to know each pupil as an individual. This includes understanding how each pupil communicates their choices, preferences and needs. Pupils benefit from the school's total communication approach, which is used in every area of learning. This helps pupils to build a range of tools and strategies to express their views and wishes with growing independence. The school has designed a calm, well-structured sensory environment. As a result, pupils are usually settled and ready to learn. When they become dysregulated, skilled and caring staff respond quickly and effectively. Pupils are supported to recover, re-engage, and feel safe, valued, and understood.
What the school should improve
- In some subject curriculums, the important knowledge that pupils should learn is not made clear. This means that pupils do not build their knowledge securely on what they already know and can do. The school should ensure that all subject curriculums identify the important knowledge that pupils should learn for these subjects.
- Opportunities for pupils to access a wide range of work experience are limited. This hinders pupils in developing employability skills as well as they could. The school should review and further develop these opportunities, so that pupils are provided with meaningful ways to build these vital skills and be as well prepared as possible for life beyond school.
