What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Millwood Primary Special School is a highly inclusive and inspiring place to be. Pupils are greeted by staff with open arms and in return respond with beaming smiles. Pupils have a strong sense of belonging and thrive. Pupils, and children in the early years, feel very safe. They benefit from strong, caring relationships with staff who know them extremely well. Leaders have the highest expectations of what pupils can achieve in their learning and behaviour. The school's curriculum places no ceiling on pupils' success. It prepares children and pupils exceptionally well for their next steps in education and life in modern Britain. Behaviour is exemplary. The school is calm and orderly for everyone. Staff are highly attuned to the feelings and anxieties of pupils and are successful at minimising them. Staff skilfully help pupils to learn to manage their behaviour and their emotions. If bullying should happen, adults deal with any issues immediately and sensitively. Opening the world up to pupils is a top priority. Pupils benefit from a memorable range of activities to promote their wider personal development. This includes involvement in many local community projects and access to a wide range of clubs, such as football, singing and signing, junk modelling, transport club and wellie walking.
