What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to this school. They are proud to be part of such a happy and inclusive community. Staff foster pupils' talents and interests. Right from the start, everyone focuses on what pupils need to lead happy, healthy and independent lives. Leaders and other staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. They do whatever it takes to help pupils to do well in their learning and in their personal development. Pupils really appreciate this. They are full of praise for staff. All around the school, pupils and staff share positive and purposeful relationships. Pupils are safe and very well cared for. Staff deal with incidents skilfully and sensitively. While bullying rarely happens, staff help pupils to understand how their behaviours might upset or hurt others. Throughout the school, pupils of all ages and abilities show positive attitudes to learning. They are keen to get involved in everything that is on offer. They particularly like the regular trips to the forest. Pupils take part in visits out into the community where they practise what they have learned in school. For example, some pupils become increasingly confident at travelling on public transport. Others experience the world around them through visits to shops, museums and restaurants.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, there are inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is implemented. This happens when staff do not ensure that tasks are sufficiently adapted to match pupils' needs and starting points. This affects how well pupils build on what they already know and can do. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is implemented consistently well. They should ensure that staff have the expertise to adapt teaching to cater for pupils' specific needs.
- Some parents are dissatisfied with the school. Leaders should improve their communication with parents so that all parents understand what is happening in school. Leaders should consider ways to enable all parents to be involved in school life and contribute to their child's learning.
