School Description

Furness School is a special school which provides for day and residential students of secondary age who have behavioural, social and emotional difficulties. It makes additional provision off site for a small number of students who receive one-to-one or small group teaching in a rural setting. All students have a statement of special educational needs and most students have previously experienced significant disruption to their education due to exclusion or non attendance at previous schools. Almost all of the pupils are of White British heritage. Currently, all students are boys. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is well above average. (The pupil premium is additional funding which has been provided to the school for children in the care of the local authority, and students known to be eligible for free school meals.) The school did not have any Year 7 students last year and so has not yet received any additional funding to support this year group in catching up. The school’s last inspection took place in May 2012. After a short period of closure, the school reopened later in May 2012. Prior to the school’s reopening, the local authority entered into a contract with Lilac Sky Schools who have provided the senior leadership team and other additional staffing or guidance as required. The IEB held its first meeting in September 2012 and has provided governance for the school since that date.
