Moorbridge

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 October 2024

Pupils receive an exceptional quality of education at this school. Pupils who have had previously poor school experiences thrive. They make rapid progress through the curriculum and achieve highly. Many pupils leave key stage 4 with the necessary qualifications for the next phase of their lives. Staff have created a calm, inclusive environment where pupils flourish. Pupils feel safe and appreciate the caring emotional support that they receive. Pupils typically commented, 'We don't worry about coming to school anymore.' The school is a place of sanctuary where pupils can be themselves, learn and be happy. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils work hard, respect staff and are determined to succeed. Staff have high expectations for pupils to do, and be, their very best. The school's values of relationships, respect and resilience are reflected by pupils throughout the school. Pupils say that they feel 'seen' and 'listened to'. The transformation in pupils' attitudes to learning and attendance is remarkable. Pupils who attend the school on short- or long-term placements receive the same high- quality care, guidance and support. Moorbridge makes a difference in pupils' lives. It gives them a second chance in education. Pupils make the most of every opportunity that they have here.
