What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 November 2023
Greenvale is a vibrant and exciting place to learn. Pupils flourish as soon as they join the school. Staff enable pupils to succeed in many subjects and courses. They strive to provide the best possible education for all pupils. Pupils receive a high quality of care and are well prepared for wider society. Pupils, including students in the sixth form, enjoy a calm and harmonious atmosphere that exists at both sites of the school. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, who have very positive attitudes and behaviour. Highly skilled staff support pupils with care and kindness. Pupils are taught to identify and manage their emotions. They learn about positive relationships and how to keep healthy in an age-appropriate way. Staff take the time to develop a deep understanding of each pupils' individual needs and feelings. Bullying is rare, and leaders deal effectively with any cases that may occur. Pupils feel safe. They are extremely well prepared for adulthood. The extensive programme of activities and experiences that leaders have designed helps pupils to develop their self- belief. This helps pupils to become confident, resilient and independent young people. This is evident in pupils' excellent conduct throughout the school.
