The school is registered to admit up to 102 pupils with severe learning difficulties, autistic spectrum conditions and associated challenging behaviour. All pupils have an education, health and care plan. The large majority of pupils and students are in the care of their placing local authorities. The school does not use the services of any alternative providers. The school’s previous inspection was in June 2016. The school’s aim is to ‘continuously strive for excellence in the care and education of our pupils. We provide a caring and homely environment at all times, where pupils can grow and develop their skills, individuality and independence.’ Inspection report: Kisimul School, 25–27 June 2019 Page 10 of 12 Information about this inspection Inspectors observed learning in all key stages at both school sites and looked at learning in pupils’ learning journals. Observations were carried out jointly with leaders. Inspectors met with the school’s two headteachers and with senior and middle leaders. A number of meetings were held with school staff. The lead inspector met with the director of education from the Kisimul Group, and spoke with the designated officer from the local authority by telephone. A range of documentation was considered, including: the school’s self-evaluation and improvement plans; records of behaviour, attendance and safeguarding; information about pupils’ achievements and external reports on the school’s effectiveness. Inspectors spoke with two groups of pupils and with a few parents. There were very few responses to Parent View and none to the pupil survey. Inspectors took account of the 26 responses to the staff survey.

2015 GCSE RESULTSImportant information for parents
Due to number of reforms to GSCE reporting introduced by the government in 2014, such as the exclusion of iGCSE examination results, the official school performance data may not accurately report a school’s full results. For more information, please see About and refer to the section, ‘Why does a school show 0% on its GSCE data dial? In many affected cases, the Average Point Score will also display LOW SCORE as points for iGCSEs and resits are not included.
Schools can upload their full GCSE results by registering for a School Noticeboard. All school results data will be verified.
