What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 March 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly and happy school. They enjoy learning; they make friends and they feel safe. Pupils say that bullying hardly ever happens, and if it does, they know who they can talk to. Adults sort out any problems between pupils quickly. All pupils at the school have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and staff make sure that pupils' safety and well-being are at the centre of everything they do. The programme of learning that pupils follow is well thought out. It teaches pupils important academic content but also develops pupils' social and communication skills so that they are well prepared for their next step after leaving the school. The personal, social and health education (PSHE) curriculum is a particular strength and guides pupils to learn important life skills, including the difference between right and wrong, how to keep themselves safe and how we should value and respect each other. The school is a calm and welcoming environment. Staff expect pupils to work hard and to behave well. Pupils conduct themselves around the school in a sensible and orderly way and staff are nearby to support pupils if they need help. Pupils behave well in lessons. They are respectful to the adults in the school and get on well with each other.
What the school should improve
- Leaders are still in the process of establishing some new aspects of the curriculum. This means that in a few areas, learning is not fully embedded in pupils' long-term memory. Leaders should complete their implementation of these new aspects of the curriculum so that it is consistently adapted to the particular needs of the pupils and prepares them for their future lives.
