School Description

Pathway to Success is a school for up to 45 boys and girls with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. It provides vocational training and education for students aged 14 to 16 years. It opened in 2009. The school has not had any students on its roll until last year; students attending previously were all solely on the roll of their mainstream school. There are now three registered at the school, all with a statement of special educational needs. The students have been placed by Birmingham local authority; two are autistic. Some have learning difficulties but all display challenging behaviour at times. The statements identify that students should be full time at the time school but the local authority has agreed that their initial placements are part time, building to full time. One student has been at the school for a year but is also educated at another independent special school for half the week. The two other students entered the school in the last few months. Students have had previously disrupted educations and have attended poorly at their previous schools. Students are from a wide range of cultures and ethnic groups. The school is located at the Kingsbury Training Centre, a 16 to 18 years provision which had a learning and skills Ofsted inspection last November. The school utilises the facilities and staff of the training centre. Pathway to Success also provides alternative provision for students at mainstream schools. These remain on the roll of their school, although a small number attend four days per week and some do not attend any place on the fifth day. These students are not on the roll of Pathway to Success. Up to sixteen attend Pathway to Success each day. All students, those who are post-16 and those who are 14 to 16 years attending the school or attending alterative provision, are taught together. The school was last inspected in June 2010 but this is the first inspection when it has had students on its roll.
