Humberston Park School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 July 2025

Pupils are happy and safe at Humberston Park. They are supported by a highly skilled staff team who care deeply for them. Staff have an astute understanding of the individual needs of pupils. Their health, care, developmental and physical needs are considered carefully through everything the school does. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Health professionals provide skilled advice to staff, so pupils can access learning and communicate in ways that are meaningful to them. Pupils' medical needs are sensitively supported. Behaviour is excellent. Most pupils attend well. Staff help pupils to understand and manage their emotions. Pupils build positive relationships with staff. The environment is thoughtfully designed and reflects the school's inclusive ethos. Pupils benefit from accessible indoor and outdoor spaces that help them to calm and develop their independence. Pupils learn how to care for themselves and develop life skills that equip them well for life beyond school. They enjoy a variety of enrichment opportunities, including cooking, swimming and enterprise activities. They are proud of their recent participation in a successful national, world-record-breaking attempt.

What the school should improve

• The school's recent changes to how staff monitor and reflect on pupils' behaviour are still being embedded. As a result, not all behaviour incidents are captured or analysed effectively. The school should ensure that its approach to monitoring behaviour is implemented consistently and used to inform precise support.
