Green Fold School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 November 2023

Pupils love coming to Green Fold School. It is a place where all pupils flourish. Staff are passionate and enthusiastic about providing the very best education for pupils. Relationships between staff and pupils are exceptional. Pupils know that staff care for them deeply and that there is always an adult there for them when needed. Consequently, pupils feel happy and know that they are in safe hands. From children in early years to the oldest pupils, there is no ceiling placed upon what staff want pupils to achieve. Staff have a thorough understanding of pupils' unique and complex needs. This, along with an aspirational curriculum, ensures that pupils, all of whom have special educational needs and/or disabilities, are exceptionally well prepared for their next steps in education. Staff skilfully help pupils to regulate their own behaviour and to manage their emotions. Staff are experts at noticing when pupils experience distress or discomfort, and they respond quickly and sensitively. Pupils benefit from an impressive range of activities that promote their wider development. For example, staff make sure that they encourage every pupil in key stages 1 and 2 to attend a residential, where pupils begin to become independent and take part in activities that challenge and inspire them.
