School Description

Leaders and staff at Ladywood School value every pupil for their uniqueness. Staff have high expectations for every pupil, and this is realised. Every effort is made to overcome pupils’ barriers to learning. Pupils talked to inspectors about ‘finding their brave’. They develop resilience, learn to ‘have a go’ and try something new. With the support and encouragement from staff, pupils gain the confidence that they need to excel. The school’s inspiring and creative community, where staff make learning fun, allows pupils to thrive. Respect and kindness are golden threads throughout all that takes place at the school. Staff model and reinforce the school values, and pupils respond to this exceptionally well. Pupils make friends and enjoy playing and learning together. Staff take time to get to know every pupil. This builds strong trusting relationships which ensures that pupils are happy, feel safe and enjoy coming to school. Every pupil has a voice. The strong focus on communication allows pupils to express their feelings, wishes and opinions. Staff listen and understand what a pupil has to say. A wide range of resources, including visual, sign and verbal are used to allow all pupils to communicate with others. On the very rare occasions when pupils fall out or there are incidents of bullying, staff resolve issues quickly.
