This is a small school with a nurturing ethos. Staff are friendly and approachable. Pupils feel safe at this school and are kind to each other. They attend very well and are highly motivated by what they learn. Pupils are respectful and do not disrupt the learning of others. Pupils who attend Haskel have a wide range of needs. They may have struggled to learn in their previous setting or may not have been attending school. Pupils are taught in small groups or on a one-to-one basis. When a pupil joins the school, leaders find out what that pupil can do and what helps them learn. Specialist subject teachers and therapists use this information to make a personalised pathway for each pupil. All staff implement these plans well. The school’s mission is to help pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) excel in life. Leaders provide pupils with an ambitious curriculum. Pupils learn about the world around them and how to play an active part in society. Most subject plans are well sequenced and detailed. The long-term plan for mathematics needs further development as it does not make clear how key learning will be revisited. Most parents are extremely positive about the school. One parent said, ‘The support provided is excellent; we are so lucky to have found Haskel.’
