Rhodes Wood Hospital School is an independent special school which opened in September 2017. It is part of Elysium Healthcare. This was the school’s first standard inspection. The school caters mostly for pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities relating to their medical conditions regarding eating disorders. The school Inspection report: Rhodes Wood Hospital School, 24–26 April 2018 Page 9 of 12 provides education for the patients admitted to Rhodes Wood Hospital, which is on the same site. More recently, the school has started to admit pupils who have autism spectrum disorder. The types of SEN being catered for are: cognitive and learning; specific learning difficulties; moderate learning difficulties; behavioural emotional and social development; behavioural emotional and social difficulty; communication and interaction needs; speech, language and communication needs; autistic spectrum disorder; and sensory and/or physical needs. Some pupils have an EHC plan. Places are funded by the pupils’ local authority. The school is registered to admit up to 39 pupils aged seven to 19. The number on roll can change on a daily basis as new pupils are admitted to or discharged from the hospital. The vast majority of pupils are in key stages 3 and 4 and in the sixth form. Plans are currently being prepared for an additional building in the school grounds to enhance the provision. The previous headteacher of the school became head of education within Elysium Healthcare, and an acting headteacher was appointed at the end of February 2018. The school does not make use of any alternative provision.
