Sunningdale School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 June 2023

From the moment pupils start at Sunningdale school, they receive the highest levels of care, support and learning to enable them to be their best selves; as the school motto says, to 'be more'. Leaders have developed an inspirational curriculum that ensures that learning is tailored to meet the needs of all pupils. Because of this, pupils display exceptionally high levels of engagement in learning. They make rapid progress from their starting points. Sunningdale's purpose-built school has been designed with exceptional care to give pupils access to the resources that they need to learn. Due to flexible timetabling and responsive staff, pupils can access areas when they need them. These include a role play learning village, sensory spaces and the hydrotherapy pool. Staff care deeply for the pupils. They know pupils extremely well and adjust learning activities continuously to ensure that they are appropriate. In turn, pupils love coming to school, and are respectful of staff and each other. Parents and carers speak highly of the support their child receives. One parent, echoing the views of others, commented: 'Sunningdale is an amazing school which works really hard to bring out the absolute best in my child.'
