Special schools provide a unique and distinctive educational environment to meet the needs of the pupils in their community. Undertaking standard tests may not be appropriate and we do not show performance data for special schools.

Petherton Park is a small school where staff know the pupils and their families inside out. The new headteacher’s initial focus was on improving behaviour. He has been successful in this. As a result, the school now provides a safe, caring environment where pupils can learn. Staff work well together, including specialist therapists, to meet pupils’ social, emotional and mental health needs. Each pupil has a personalised timetable matched to their interests and additional needs. This approach builds their confidence and self-esteem and helps them re-engage in learning. Parents recognise the effectiveness of this work. As one parent put it, ‘Since starting at the school, my son has been a different child.’ Pupils say they feel happy and safe at the school, and staff listen to them. Pupils have no concerns about bullying. Leaders are now focused on improving the curriculum. The curriculum in mathematics, English, and personal, social and health education (PSHE) is well planned. In these subjects, there are high expectations of pupils. However, leaders have not organised the curriculum in other subjects well enough. As a result, pupils are not challenged to know more and remember more in all of their learning.

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.
