School Description

Percy Hedley School is a welcoming and friendly place. The school is calm and orderly. Leaders at all levels have developed the curriculum to ensure that it is ambitious and engaging. The curriculum is well designed and meets the needs of pupils from the early years to post-16 well. Preparing pupils for adulthood and developing pupils’ communication skills are key features of the curriculum. Staff have a good awareness of pupils’ individual learning needs. They successfully adapt lessons to ensure pupils progress well. The school has specialist facilities and resources to support a range of complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These facilities include a hydrotherapy pool and outside play areas that promote movement. There are therapeutic spaces and resources to support pupils with physical disabilities. On-site specialist staff such as speech and language therapists and physiotherapists support pupils and advise teachers well. This helps to ensure pupils receive regular specialist support. The school places a high emphasis on pupil welfare. Pupils can seek the support of the pupil well-being team if they have any worries or concerns. This ensures pupils feel safe. Bullying is infrequent. On the very rare occasions it does happen, staff intervene swiftly.
