Special schools provide a unique and distinctive educational environment to meet the needs of the pupils in their community. Undertaking standard tests may not be appropriate and we do not show performance data for special schools.

Pupils have strong and trusting relationships with adults. Staff know the pupils well and create a nurturing environment where pupils feel valued and appreciated. Most pupils feel safe at school and get on well with their close peers. There are few incidents of bullying. Some pupils are courteous and respond well to instructions. They enjoy rewards for their positive conduct. However, the behaviour of some pupils, particularly older ones, is more challenging. Their lessons are quite frequently disrupted by poor behaviour and inappropriate language. Some pupils are disrespectful and too familiar when they interact with adults. These adults do not always set a good example in response. Older pupils are proud of their achievements as part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. Other opportunities for pupils to benefit from extra-curricular activities are limited. Most parents and carers are positive about the school. One summed up the views of others in saying, ‘There is a very clear message that staff will not give up on pupils, despite their difficulties.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? Pupils who are at an early stage of learning to read do not get the support they need. Teachers are poorly trained. They do not have a secure knowledge of phonics or of how to teach it effectively. Their approach to teaching phonics is inconsistent. Pupils repeat errors made by teachers when pronouncing the sounds that letters make. Pupils’ reading books do not closely match their phonic knowledge. They are not able to practise the sounds they know and cannot break down unfamiliar words. These pupils do not gain the knowledge and skills they need to become confident and fluent readers quickly enough.

2015 GCSE RESULTSImportant information for parents
Due to number of reforms to GSCE reporting introduced by the government in 2014, such as the exclusion of iGCSE examination results, the official school performance data may not accurately report a school’s full results. For more information, please see About and refer to the section, ‘Why does a school show 0% on its GSCE data dial? In many affected cases, the Average Point Score will also display LOW SCORE as points for iGCSEs and resits are not included.
Schools can upload their full GCSE results by registering for a School Noticeboard. All school results data will be verified.
