Muntham House School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 July 2024

Pupils are eager to describe how Muntham House has changed their lives. Inspirational staff rebuild pupils' self-belief and set them on a path to success. Staff show tremendous care to pupils. Every pupil who leaves the post-16 provision goes onto further education, employment or training. This is because of high academic expectations coupled with excellent careers advice which are in pupils' best interests. Pupils recognise the positive changes in them. Older pupils model important character traits in how they interact with others, work hard and learn to live independently. Pupils hugely benefit from the onsite therapy team's care and work. In the primary phase, staff teach pupils the vocabulary they need to explain their feelings and the habits to learn successfully in a classroom. Across the school, pupils behave extremely well in lessons. There is an exceptional offer for pupils' wider development. The school provides enriching life experiences. This includes pupils accessing the school's purpose-built farm to develop key skills and knowledge. Some Year 10 pupils learn to be resilient through successfully climbing the three highest UK mountains. Pupils are particularly proud of their sporting success, including the key stage 4 football team becoming national champions. In school, pupils enjoy the freshly-cooked food at meal times which they share with their friends and the staff that help them.
