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.

Everyone is made to feel welcome at this school. Leaders want the best outcomes for all pupils. Staff work hard to build positive relationships with pupils and to help them feel welcome within the school community. Pupils speak positively about the support and guidance that staff provide. This helps them to overcome barriers to learning. As a result, most pupils have a positive school experience. The school has established clear expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils understand the systems in place. They know how to access support when they need it or to speak to a trusted adult if they have any worries. Typically, the school is calm and orderly. Generally, pupils behave well. Any relationship breakdowns are supported well by both the compassionate schools and the ‘family footings’ team. Leaders cater for pupils’ personal development particularly well. Pupils have access to many opportunities. These include sports, mindfulness, arts, coding, drumming sessions and outdoor activities such as forest school. Pupils benefit from trips and visits to, for example, museums and theatres. These experiences enhance their understanding of the curriculum. Pupils enjoy taking part in leadership responsibilities, including being student councillors or being part of the LGBTQ group. All of this helps pupils to play an active role in school life.

“school of excellence”
12 September 2019AUTHOR: A Parent
My son started this school this September. I know its only been 2 weeks but wow what a difference this school has made to my son. I have my excited and happy boy back – he even asked to go to school on Saturday.
He has just had to do a whole term in a main stream school who really did not understand him or his needs and he struggled and lost all his confidence, but now this is coming back bit by bit.
Thank you for making my son feel like he belongs.
On the morning of his first day, he had me in tears telling me is this school going to be okay mummy as I didn't do well in my last school but he said, 'I will be okay here.'
I told him yes of course but I didn't really know. But now I can confidently state to him, 'Yes, son, you will be fine.'
Thank you to all who work there keep up the amazing work you all do. The staff cannot do enough to help or support you.

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.
