What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
Pupils thrive in the highly nurturing, supportive and therapeutic environment at Hawkswood. They are kept safe and happy by an exceptionally skilled team of leaders and staff. Even though pupils spend a relatively short time in this setting, they achieve highly. They learn quickly to recognise and manage any barriers to learning they may have. The rapid gains they make ensure they feel confident and successful when they return to their mainstream schools. Pupils understand what is expected of them and how to be a 'Hawkswood Hero'. This means they behave well, work hard, participate fully and care for one another. Pupils' success is celebrated. For example, they are praised warmly when successful and enjoy petting the school dogs, playing outside or spending time in the sensory room as a reward. Pupils benefit from a strong personal, social and health education curriculum. They enjoy the rich cultural experiences provided. These include visits to the theatre and museums, and visitors to the school, offering a range of workshops, including poetry, music and drama.
