What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Pupils of all ages thrive and are happy at Rosehill School. The expert teaching and care that they receive enable pupils to feel safe and fulfil the school's high expectations for them to succeed. Positive, nurturing relationships are at the heart of the school. There is a tangible culture of respect, in which everyone is valued equally. Pupils are resilient, enthusiastic learners. They show admirable commitment to learning and are rightly proud of their school. The school's calm, purposeful atmosphere supports pupils' academic and personal development exceptionally well. The school's outstanding support for pupils' behaviour is a strength of its provision. Due to their highly complex needs, pupils can sometimes struggle to control their emotions. Staff understand each pupil, and their individual needs, extremely well. Their skilled support enables pupils to develop as increasingly independent individuals. Rosehill is an outward-looking school. There is a vast range of opportunities provided for pupils to develop their understanding of the wider world, for example, by accessing community and city-wide activities, running the school's on-site café or through their active roles as school ambassadors. Pupils have a strong voice at Rosehill. They are very well prepared for their next steps beyond the school.
