What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
Pupils achieve their personal outcomes exceptionally well at Wilson Stuart School. Staff have the highest level of care and expectations for all pupils. As a result, pupils rise to these expectations and are ready for their next stages in education. The school's curriculum focuses on getting pupils ready for life after Wilson Stuart (LAWS). Learning activities and wider experiences are carefully considered to support pupils' physical development, communication, interaction and independence, starting from the early years. This means that pupils' individual needs are exceptionally well understood and well met here. Pupils demonstrate the school's 'circle' values of communication, independence, resilience, confidence, leadership and esteem. For example, pupils are given a range of leadership responsibilities, such as 'the kindness crew'. These pupils wear a high-visibility jacket and a distinctive yellow lanyard, which makes them stand out. They teach and show other pupils what kindness means and looks like. Pupils know about healthy relationships. This helps to keep them safe. Relationships across the school are highly respectful. Positive relationships are demonstrated by all staff towards each other and towards pupils. Pupils are treated with great dignity and respect at all times. Staff work closely with pupils, parents, carers and specialist external agencies in order to fulfil their roles with exceptional nurture and expertise.
