Prospect House Specialist Support Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 July 2023

Prospect House provides an inspiring learning environment in which pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities flourish. Pupils are extremely happy and safe. Leaders and staff have created a respectful and nurturing school, where everybody matters. Adults are incredibly ambitious for every pupil. As a result of steely determination and a high-quality curriculum, every pupil excels. On arrival, pupils are greeted by the warm smiles from the adults who eagerly await them. They are proud to attend their school. The stimulating, yet calming, environment provided by staff supports pupils to feel protected in school. Well- established routines give pupils confidence to go about their learning. They know that staff will support them when needed. The school environment is a sanctuary in which pupils get the best opportunities to learn, grow and develop. The expectations of leaders and staff for pupils' behaviour are extraordinarily high. These expectations are pivotal in enabling pupils to learn. Pupils respond extremely positively, and their conduct is exemplary. Pupils understand what bullying is. Records show that leaders deal with bullying without delay. Pupils are exceptionally respectful of one another. Leaders' approach to pupils' wider personal development is excellent. Pupils have carefully organised opportunities to use the different therapeutic facilities in the school. For example, pupils can visit the imagination room, or they can use the soft playroom to support their individual needs. These experiences develop pupils' wider skills perfectly.
