Heritage House School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 October 2024

Pupils flourish and achieve exceptionally well from the early years through to the sixth form. This is because adults place the individual needs of each pupil at the heart of all they do. Everyday learning activities are deliberately meaningful to the pupils. Expectations for pupils are high. There is no ceiling on what they can achieve. Staff treat pupils respectfully and with kindness. They know each pupil extremely well. Pupils form trusting relationships with staff and have positive connections with their peers. Pupils accept each other's differences and are supportive of each other during lessons and social times. Everyone contributes to the calm and purposeful atmosphere which permeates the school. As a result, pupils are happy and safe. Pupils take delight in the rich and varied opportunities afforded to them. The school is determined to include all pupils on trips out such as sailing or sporting tournaments. As pupils progress through the school, they have opportunities to discover new interests and learn about future options for work and volunteering. They are well supported to develop their skills in the specialist rooms, such as the realistic flat, or hair salon. In the workshop pupils learn about construction and are valuable collaborators in a charity initiative renovating tools.
