School Description

Shorefields is an all-age special school. It provides mostly for pupils who have severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs. The school’s sixth form is called ‘the college’. ‘The college’ currently works with thirty-two 14 to 19 year-olds studying a core life skills programme and a range of vocational courses at various levels including Entry 1 and Entry 2. A high proportion of the pupils are supported through the pupil premium (additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals or who are looked after by the local authority). Almost all pupils are White British. A few students attend local colleges such as Colchester Institute which offer a variety of vocational 14 to 19 courses. On the first day of the inspection, the school’s annual Christmas production took place to which parents and carers, as well as pupils, were invited.
