What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 January 2024

Pupils are positive and engaged learners in this nurturing and calm school. Pupils' medical needs influence the length of their stay here, with many placements lasting for a short period of time. Staff very quickly get to know and understand pupils from the moment of arrival. As such, from day one of their placement, they receive highly individualised and specialist support for their medical, personal and educational needs. Relationships between pupils and staff are built on the highest levels of mutual respect and care. Pupils know that this is a safe environment for them and that adults will be patient and sensitive to their needs. Pupils benefit hugely from the high aspirations that staff have for what they will achieve. Staff are committed to making sure pupils will leave here with ambitious goals for their futures. Pupils' tailor-made plans and targets are precisely and expertly designed to help them have the knowledge and confidence they will need to be ready for their next steps when they leave. A culture of inclusion and support pervades the school. Every aspect of pupils' needs is extremely well considered and planned for by staff. This means that behavioural incidents rarely occur in the school, but are responded to expertly by well-trained staff if they do.
