What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 May 2025

On Track Education transforms the lives of its pupils. The school places no limits on what pupils can achieve. It has the highest expectations of pupils. Pupils do all they can to rise to the challenge. They learn with success because the school knows pupils' individual needs so well. Staff expertly support pupils to 'never give up', try their best and believe in themselves. The school is calm and orderly because of the clear routines in place that pupils follow extremely well. Pupils have beautiful manners. They feel safe and know that the attentive staff will help them if they have any worries. Pupils learn a highly ambitious curriculum that reflects their interests and talents. For many pupils, this is their first successful experience of education. Pupils who previously found it difficult to engage with education now show very impressive attitudes to their learning. Staff care deeply about pupils, including their emotional well-being and academic achievement. This enables pupils to grow in confidence and be fully prepared for the next stages of their education. Pupils are unanimous in their views of the school, stating, 'This school is one of a kind. It could not be any better.'
