School Description

Greenbank School provides for students who have statements of special educational needs. The large majority of students have autism spectrum conditions and the proportion of these students has increased since the previous inspection. A smaller number of, mainly older, students have moderate learning difficulties or severe learning difficulties. Some students have combinations of special educational needs. The school provides for students from across Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East. The proportion of students eligible for additional funding through the pupil premium is below average. In this school pupil premium is additional government funding for those students who are entitled to free school meals or who are in the care of the local authority. The very large majority of students are boys. Almost all students are of White British heritage. The school offers residential provision for students during term time, ranging from occasional stays, some staying one or two nights per week and with only one student in residence for four nights a week on a regular basis. Greenbank School shares a campus with a number of other primary, secondary and special schools, a children’s centre and a further education college. The school uses alternative provision at Mid-Cheshire College, Reaseheath College and St Nicholas RC High School. There have been significant changes to the leadership of both the school and the residential provision since the previous inspection.
