Oak Field School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 July 2024

Pupils are exceptionally well cared for at this welcoming and supportive school. They communicate that they are safe and happy. Staff know the pupils incredibly well. Their detailed knowledge of each child's health needs and special educational needs and/or disability (SEND) enables them to provide precise support so that pupils flourish at the school. All the staff at the school are highly trained. They are very skilled in meeting the children's complex needs. Relationships are very positive. Pupils know staff will support them to learn and to keep safe. Pupils engage very well with their learning. They have positive attitudes to their education; they are always trying their hardest. Those pupils who have the most profound disabilities are carefully supported to engage with a wide range of sensory activities. They are helped to communicate if they want these activities to stop or continue. Staff's detailed understanding of how these pupils communicate means that they can respond accurately to how pupils are feeling. This ensures that these pupils do not become anxious or frustrated. The personal development of all pupils is excellent. School leaders have high ambitions for all pupils and want the very best outcomes for them.
