School Description

The school opened in September 2013. It is located on the same campus as an outstanding mainstream school. The schools are both members of the same academy trust. The school is a small school which caters for pupils who are supported by a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan. The majority of pupils are White British. There are significantly more boys than girls who attend the school. While the school currently has one student in the sixth form, this development is at too early a stage to make a separate judgement on the quality of the sixth form provision. Most pupils have speech, language and communication needs or autistic spectrum disorders; a few have multi-sensory impairment. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils eligible for government support through the pupil premium is below the national average. The pupil premium is additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those pupils who are looked after by the local authority. Pupils attend from three counties: Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex. The majority are transported to and from school by taxis or minibuses. The school has no pupils who are looked after by a local authority. The school is part of the Samuel Ward Multi Academy Trust whose executive headteacher provides additional support for leadership in this school.
