What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 June 2023

Pupils at this school are extremely happy and well cared for. They are kept safe by a highly dedicated team of staff, who greet and check on them every morning. Staff enable pupils to self-regulate and manage their behaviour exceptionally well. This leads to a nurturing school environment, where everyone is expected to treat each other kindly. Pupils are encouraged to be curious about the world and to be as independent as possible. The school sets out highly ambitious goals for pupils. This helps pupils to achieve very well in line with their individual needs. There are many opportunities for pupils to take on leadership responsibilities. Pupils are actively involved in improving their community through debating issues, organising events and raising money for charity. Teachers prepare pupils diligently for adult life. Consequently, they feel ready and excited for their next steps. Pupils at this school have access to a range of facilities to support them to learn and develop. These include access to sensory sessions, a therapeutic swimming pool, soft-play spaces and a well-stocked library and playground.
