What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 October 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to Durants School. They are happy and they feel safe. Pupils like their lessons and the adults that teach and support them. Lessons are fun and interesting and help pupils to learn important knowledge and skills and to be independent. The school's ambitious vision to prepare pupils for society and adulthood is clear to see in the curriculum that pupils learn. All pupils at the school need extra help because of their special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Teachers and support staff are kind and patient. They give pupils the time and specialist support they need to understand and remember new information. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve and how they should behave. Pupils sometimes need support to manage their emotions and behaviour. When this happens, staff provide this support in a respectful and expert way so that pupils can carry on with their lessons as quickly as possible. Pupils say that bullying is not a problem at the school. If there are ever any problems with friendships or unkind behaviour between pupils, this is sorted out quickly. Pupils know who they can talk to if they are worried about anything.
