What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
Pupils are confident and articulate. They are proud to belong to the school. As they get older, pupils learn to understand themselves and their autism very well. They say this helps them to understand their peers, too. As a result, Exhall Grange is an inclusive and welcoming community, where pupils thrive. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning. They know that staff want them to do well and that they go the extra mile to help them to achieve. In turn, pupils have high expectations of themselves and high aspirations for their futures. Pupils have an extensive range of opportunities to develop their talents and interests and to provide them with a secure understanding of the world. Pupils value trips to support the curriculum, such as to television studios, castles and theatres. In the sixth form, students are prepared well for adulthood. They learn how to order food and eat at a restaurant and to navigate different workplaces, for example. The Year 9 residential helps pupils to develop their independence and this is built on through the popular Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme. Pupils are enthusiastic about the annual 'Exhall's Got Talent' show. Pupils grow in independence and confidence as a result of the meticulously planned school enrichment programme.
What the school should improve
- The school's approach to ensuring that pupils with the most complex needs can communicate well is not yet fully in place. This means that a few pupils do not learn to communicate as effectively as they could. The school should make sure that they have a clearly designed approach to teaching pupils to communicate well and that all staff are trained to deliver this effectively.
- The curriculum is not equally well developed in all pathways. This means that a few pupils do not follow a curriculum that matches the school's ambitions. The school should continue to develop the curriculum so that it is planned to meet the precise needs of pupils in all pathways.
