School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Your ambitious and determined leadership, combined with the actions you have taken, has ensured that the school has improved since the last inspection. Your recent reviews of the curriculum, and the improvements made to teaching, have ensured that the school is evolving to meet the pupils’ growing complex and wide-ranging needs, including autism spectrum disorder and severe communication difficulties. Where necessary, you have insisted that teachers and other staff develop their practice and you have worked resolutely with all staff to ensure that pupils are taught and achieve well. Together with the other senior leaders, you have successfully tackled the areas for improvement identified at the last inspection. You have built stronger links with other local schools and ensured that subject leaders take greater responsibility for developing teachers’ subject expertise. You recognise that further detailed alterations to the curriculum, and its delivery, are likely to be necessary to reflect the wide variety and changing needs of pupils who attend the school. Leaders are insightful about the school’s strengths and weaknesses. They have a sound grasp of what routine teaching is like and how it can improve further. Regular checks on teaching, and on how well pupils are doing, help leaders to establish what training is needed for staff. In some instances, teachers do not seize or build enough on incidental opportunities for learning.
