The Children's Trust School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 September 2023

Pupils flourish at this school. Their individuality is recognised and nurtured. One parent told us that this school 'opens up a whole new world' for its pupils. We agree. Staff here are determined that pupils should experience life in all its richness, regardless of their special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The education that pupils receive at this school helps them to participate more confidently in the world around them. Staff are experts at teaching pupils to communicate using a range of methods personalised to each individual. This work empowers pupils, helping them to find their voice. Pupils enjoy their learning here, and lessons are characterised by moments of wonder and celebration. The needs of pupils are always the first priority at The Children's Trust School. A caring, child-centred culture is tangible throughout the organisation from the work of trustees through to daily classroom interactions. Staff get to know pupils exceptionally well. They are skilled in interpreting every nuance in pupils' behaviour and communication. This motivates pupils to engage with their learning meaningfully and ensures that their efforts and progress are recognised.
