What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 September 2023
This is an extremely nurturing and safe place where happy pupils flourish. Staff know the needs of each pupil exceptionally well. When pupils first arrive, staff find out as much as possible about them. They use this information to create a highly personalised curriculum. As a result, pupils make excellent progress academically, socially and emotionally and are exceptionally well prepared for the future. One parent echoed the views of many, 'This school is a dream come true for our children.' The way this school helps pupils overcome any challenges is impressive. There is an inherent culture of high expectations. Pupils develop very strong friendships and are kind, responsible young citizens. Any behaviour issues are dealt with sensitively. Staff have an infectious positivity. They greet pupils as they arrive each morning, making sure that pupils get off to an upbeat start for the day. Pupils benefit from well-established routines that help to keep things calm and predictable. They appreciate being able to organise their daily activities. This gives pupils much- needed time to develop vital social and communication skills. Pupils have many opportunities to learn about the world beyond school. For example, they visit the theatre, Arundel Castle and the Sea Life Centre.
