Evelina Hospital School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 June 2022

Pupils enjoy lessons at the school. They like the adults who teach them and they look forward to the sessions. Life at the school is getting back to normal following the COVID- 19 pandemic, although all pupils still have their lessons at their bedside. Leaders plan for some pupils to be able soon to come to the Atrium classroom again, or have remote group sessions on their ward. Pupils at the school are safe and happy. If they are worried, they can talk to one of their link workers, who listen and provide help. Behaviour at the school is exemplary. Pupils are used to the many adults who are around on the ward and they are polite and friendly. Parents and carers value the work of the school. They feel adults get to know their child well and plan learning around what they like. Some parents would like lessons to be longer and take place more often, so leaders are considering how this can be achieved. Leaders and school staff have very high expectations for pupils. Pupils build their knowledge and skills while they are at the school, even if they are only at the school for a short time. The curriculum focuses on their emotional well-being as well as academic subjects.
