Two Rivers High School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 February 2024

Two Rivers High School is more than a special school; it is an inspirational community where pupils are happy and thrive. They thrive because staff see beyond their special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to the unique qualities of each pupil. Pupils have various learning barriers, such as autism spectrum disorder and learning and cognition needs. These and other additional needs could prevent pupils from achieving the best from their time in school. However, whatever the need, staff work hard to understand them and consistently put the right help in place at the right time. Understanding and patience are the keys to this very special community. Pupils told inspectors they feel that staff listen to them. When pupils need help, staff act quickly, with kindness and care, to respond to what is needed. This means that pupils feel valued and eager to please and work hard. Consequently, behaviour is generally strong in lessons and at all other times. Pupils experience a range of exciting opportunities to prepare them for the world around them. Litter picking, running a charity shop, gardening or even delivering community magazines provide opportunities for all pupils to develop their sense of community responsibility.
