Pavilion Study Centre

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 October 2022

Pavilion Study Centre is a school pupils like to go to. Many have found it difficult to attend other schools. Some pupils have medical needs, others have found it difficult to follow rules in other schools. They like the individual attention they get at Pavilion Study Centre. They told inspectors that this helps them with their learning. Leaders have recently opened a new school building. Some staff and pupils have moved into this building. Others work in different buildings. Some attend school at hospital and some are educated in their home. Leaders are developing systems to support both staff and pupils in these new settings. Staff know each pupil well. If a pupil needs a break from class they are supported to have this. Breaks are fine-tuned to individual interests, such as boxing or access to the gym. This helps pupils to re-engage with learning quickly. Staff have high expectations for pupils' learning and achievement. Behaviour on all sites is well managed. Staff intervene early when they need to. There are very good relationships between staff and pupils. Bullying rarely occurs. If it does happen, it is dealt with very quickly. This helps pupils to feel safe and happy at school.

What the school should improve

• Teachers share their practice of what works well in individual subjects across the different sites on which the school operates. However, this is not consistently shared with other subject teachers or across the staff team. This means that some subjects and some teachers do not implement the curriculum as well as others. Leaders should develop an approach that sets out an overview of the whole curriculum and encourages sharing of what works in different subjects.
