Chadsgrove School is a wonderful, exciting and inspiring place for pupils to learn. As soon as pupils arrive at school, they are greeted by a highly dedicated staff team and are welcomed into a vibrant environment where their successes are celebrated. All pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Communication is at the heart of everything the school does. Staff place huge importance on helping pupils to communicate well. From speech technology, through to communication boards, pupils have the tools they need to be understood. Pupils work alongside leaders as ‘learning detectives’. They visit classes together and continuously reflect on how well the school is doing. They want the school to be the best it can be, and, because of their determination, it is. Staff are overwhelmingly positive about working in the school. They say that the school is exceptionally well led and managed. We agree, and so do parents. Pupils feel safe in school. They are confident about who to talk to if they are worried. They say that staff listen to them. Pupils’ behaviour in school is exemplary. Pupils were adamant that the behaviour in school is ‘fantastic’ and that bullying does not happen.
