Elleray Park educates pupils with severe learning difficulties and profound and multiple learning difficulties. Since the last inspection the school has grown and two classrooms have recently been added so that the school is now of broadly average size compared with other similar schools. These changes have occurred to enable Elleray to admit a further group of pupils with autistic spectrum disorders and these now constitute about one third of the school population. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs and can enter the school at any time during their primary education; many begin during the Early Years Foundation Stage. Since the last inspection the school has introduced some extended services and provides facilities for pupils in an after-school club and during holidays. Elleray Park has a low number of pupils from minority-ethnic groups compared to regional proportions and the number known to be eligible for free school meals is much higher than the national average. At the time of the inspection there were no children in the school below the age of three. Since the last inspection the school has maintained its Healthy Schools Status and gained accreditation with the National Autistic Society.
