What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Stanton Vale is a happy, welcoming, inclusive school. Pupils benefit enormously from the kind, compassionate and highly skilled staff. Pupils are treated with great humanity, dignity and respect throughout the day. Staff work closely with pupils, parents, carers and specialist external agencies to fulfil their roles with expertise and care. The school has high expectations for all pupils. It has established these expectations through recent strengthening of the school's curriculum. Staff know and respond to pupils' special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. As a result, pupils make good gains in their learning and the school is a calm place. When receiving care, staff ensure, as far as possible, that pupils' medical needs do not detract from their time in lessons and with friends. This way, their needs are not a barrier to them enjoying school. Pupils know that staff will help them with any worries or concerns they may have. This helps pupils to feel happy, safe and understood. Pupils receive an exceptional personal development curriculum. They are able to explore the world around them both in school and out in the wider community. Carefully planned experiences enrich their lives such as visits from the emergency services, trips to the Sea Life Centre and an adaptive aquarium experience.
What the school should improve
- On occasions, teachers and in class support staff do not select and deliver tasks which challenge and extend pupils' knowledge and skills. As a result, pupils can disengage from their learning. The school should support staff to select and deliver tasks which match the ambitious curriculum consistently well for pupils.
