Chasetown Community School is a welcoming and caring place. Leaders have created a safe and nurturing environment. Pupils are happy and welcoming to visitors. They are keen to talk about the help they get at school. All pupils have an education, health and care plan (EHC plan). Pupils’ main areas of need are social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Staff are highly skilled in understanding pupils’ specific needs. Pupils receive effective support to meet their individual needs as a result. Pupils are taught different ways to manage their own behaviours and emotions successfully. Leaders understand how behaviours are a way for pupils to communicate their voice. Every child’s voice is listened to attentively by all staff. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. However, the way the curriculum is designed does not allow pupils to achieve as highly as they could in many subjects. In the wider curriculum, leaders have not identified the key knowledge and vocabulary they want pupils to learn and in which order. Additionally, the curriculum for pupils moving between key stage 2 and key stage 3 is implemented in different ways. This means that pupils learn in a disjointed way.
