What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Staff at King's Oak School understand how to cater for the needs of pupils who attend the school. Each pupil receives a warm welcome when they arrive. Staff prioritise pupils' welfare and their feelings. It allows them to adjust the curriculum to meet pupils' needs. This helps pupils to be ready to learn and to meet the high expectations that the school sets for them. The school has a broad and balanced curriculum that reflects its high expectations. Relationships between adults and pupils are extremely positive and help the school to be calm and orderly. When bullying happens, pupils know that adults will deal with any issues immediately and sensitively. Due to their needs, pupils sometimes find it hard to manage their emotions. When this happens, well-trained staff skilfully support them. In the main, pupils behave well in lessons and during social times. They learn to recognise the importance of accepting differences between people. Inspectors agree with parents and carers that this is a supportive and understanding school where pupils regain belief in themselves and discover their potential.
