School Description

Pennine View School provides education for pupils who have statements of special educational needs or education, health and care plans that identify moderate learning difficulties as their primary need. Many pupils have additional needs including social, emotional and mental health needs, physical disability, visual and/or hearing impairments; speech language and communication needs and/or a diagnosis of autistic spectrum condition. The school is an average-sized special school. The number of places available has increased over the last three years and the school is oversubscribed. Pupils placed in the school come from across the borough of Doncaster. A small number of pupils live in adjacent local authorities. The vast majority of pupils are from White British backgrounds. A small proportion of pupils are from a range of different backgrounds with an increasing proportion from Eastern Europe. A small proportion of pupils speak English as an additional language. A much higher than average proportion of pupils are known to be eligible for support through pupil premium funding. The pupil premium is additional government funding allocated for pupils who are in known to be eligible for free school meals or who are looked after by the local authority. The school provides advice about pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities to teachers in mainstream schools. This provision was not reviewed as part of the inspection. A very small number of pupils receive their education at alternative provision. The provision used at various times are Opencast, DRFC and Enhancement Training. The school uses the services of Doncaster council’s off-site provision coordinator to manage this provision. The school offers breakfast to pupils as they arrive in school. A weekly after-school club is provided for pupils who choose to undertake the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
