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.

Sheiling School (Thornbury) was founded on the Steiner philosophy of education. It has adapted what it teaches well to suit the needs of pupils with moderate and severe learning difficulties. All pupils have an education, health and care (EHC) plan. Staff treat pupils with respect and dignity. They choose learning activities to fit pupils’ interests and aptitudes. Over time, pupils feel comfortable with their teachers and enjoy the lessons they prepare for them. Many pupils find it difficult to build relationships with other people. Staff use creative activities to develop pupils’ personal skills well. They agree ambitious milestones for pupils to achieve. These challenging targets stretch pupils’ emotional reserves and help them to grow. Most pupils’ previous experience of education has been frustrating. When pupils join the school, their attitude to education is often negative. Their behaviour can be aggressive. Staff provide therapies that gradually help pupils to build their selfesteem. This helps pupils to regulate their own behaviour. Staff take any incidents of bullying seriously and deal with them swiftly. They aim to restore relationships between pupils as fast as possible. The school keeps pupils safe. It provides pupils with a high level of support and supervises them closely.

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.
