The school meets requirements on the publication of specified information on its website. Linden Lodge accepts pupils from a wide range of local authorities in London and the south east. The school caters for children from the age of 2 to 19, though currently there are no children aged two or three on roll. Almost all pupils have a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care (EHC) plan. Pupils all have visual impairment and many have other special educational needs and disabilities, including Inspection report: Linden Lodge School, 31 January – 1 February 2017 Page 10 of 13 hearing impairment, autistic spectrum disorders, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Many children have profound and multiple physical disabilities as well as educational needs. The school has boarding provision on site for 40 pupils. This provision was last inspected in November 2016 and judged good. The provision was not part of this inspection. The school does not use any off-site training. The management of the school is in a state of transition. The principal has executive responsibility but the day-to-day running of the school is now the responsibility of the interim headteacher. The governing body is about to start the appointment process for a substantive headteacher. A clinical lead was appointed in September 2016 to work with both the school and the health authority. Just over a third of pupils are from White British families. Other pupils come from a range of other ethnic backgrounds. The largest other group is of Black African origin. Just over a third of pupils speak English as an additional language, though few are at an early stage of learning English. The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives the pupil premium is slightly above average. The school holds a number of awards, including the Arts Mark Gold, the Safety Mark and Investors in People.
