School Description

Pupils have often missed large periods of education before starting here. They have complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, High Grange School gives them another chance. The pupils take this chance and they flourish. Pupils often leave with a broad suite of qualifications. These include A levels, GCSEs and functional skills awards. Pupils receive effective preparation for adulthood lessons. Consequently, they are primed and ready for their next steps. Leaders and staff know every pupil exceptionally well. Together, they provide each pupil with a precise, bespoke package. These packages meet pupils’ individual needs. The expert multi-disciplinary team underpins these packages. The team provides vital on-site support. This includes speech and language, occupational therapy and psychology support. Pupils make the most of a wide and rich set of activities. These experiences include: themed weeks and specialist days, charity work, visits and visitors to the school, competitions and a multitude of clubs. Leaders and staff have high expectations. Consequently, pupils listen and contribute fully in lessons. They work hard and behave very well. Pupils say that they are happy and feel safe. A pupil summed up the relationships between the pupils and adults by saying, ‘The staff are devoted to us.’
