Grafham Grange is a special school catering for boys who have social, emotional and mental health needs. Many pupils have associated complex special educational needs, including autistic spectrum conditions. Typically, pupils will have missed education in their previous schools because of absence and exclusions. All pupils are supported through education, health and care plans. Several local authorities place pupils at the school. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is higher than in most schools, as is the proportion of pupils looked after by the local authority. Some placing local authorities retain the pupil premium funding for disadvantaged pupils. The school is part of the Radius Trust group of schools. An agreement has been reached for the Aurora Group of schools to take over the trusteeship of the school, Inspection report: Grafham Grange School, 23–24 May 2017 Page 10 of 13 with a provisional date set for the end of June 2017.
