What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Pupils are very happy and enjoy coming to school. This is because they are known well by all members of the school community. Staff greet pupils each day and celebrate their individual strengths and contributions. The school ensures that pupils, regardless of their needs, receive a high quality of education. This is provided with excellent levels of individual care. Staff look beyond pupils' complex needs and set the highest expectations for them to develop their independence. Pupils rise to these expectations, demonstrating their character and individuality. Parents and carers are effusive in their praise for the school. They value how their children are treated with dignity and respect by all staff. The relationships between pupils and staff are strong. Pupils are kind and show this through their warm welcome for visitors. Pupils' behaviour is excellent and skilfully managed. Incidences of bullying are very rare. Pupils feel safe and are kept secure here. A wide range of opportunities in the community support pupils to develop confidence beyond the classroom. For example, all pupils go ice skating and older pupils engage positively with work experience. This prepares them well for the next stage of their education, employment, or training.
