School Description

Highfields is part of the Castlecare Group and is a small independent school catering for residential students who live in four of the company’s children’s homes in the area. The provision in the residences did not form part of this inspection, which looked solely at education in the school. It is registered for 10 boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 16 years and currently there are eight on roll, all of whom are children looked after by their local authority. Four have a statement of special educational needs, specifying behavioural, emotional and social difficulties and associated complex needs. The school was registered in 2007 and had its last standard inspection in May 2013. An emergency unannounced inspection took place in May 2013 and a progress monitoring inspection was undertaken in January 2014. The care provision in the residence that shares the same site was last inspected in February 2015. At present the school does not use any alternative provision for educational placements and does not enter any students early for GCSE examinations.
