What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Pupils thrive and regularly attend this ambitious school. The 'quality of life framework' approach is intertwined with the nurturing ethos of the school. Pupils benefit from this approach, which is focused on the personal and social aspects of their life that need support and development. This includes recognising and putting in place the help each family needs to support their child to be ready for the next stage of their life. Assessments from clinical psychologists, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists rapidly identify pupils' needs. This means that from day one of their placement, pupils receive highly individualised and specialist support. Pupils value their positive relationships with staff, especially their key workers. They know that staff will understand them and keep them safe. Every aspect of pupils' needs is considered and planned for extremely well. Therefore, very few incidents occur in school. When they do, well-trained staff respond to them skilfully and sensitively. The ambition and expectation for all pupils are exceptionally high. Pupils recognise and appreciate this and strive to achieve their best. They are given the right support and guidance to identify their own goals and ambitions, and they work hard to achieve them.
