Pupils, including children in the early years, flourish at St Rose’s Special School. All pupils have complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) in the school. Some children have SEND in the Nursery. Through the seamless integration of therapy and education, pupils learn to manage their emotional responses to the world around them exceptionally well. Pupils and staff have very positive, caring relationships. Consequently, pupils love coming to school and attend well. The curriculum nurtures pupils’ curiosity about the world around them well. Staff check pupils’ understanding before they move on to more complex learning. Staff know the learning, emotional, social and physical needs of each pupil very well. This enables bespoke approaches which support pupils’ learning across the curriculum. Children in the Nursery and Reception Year are enthusiastic about learning a range of skills. For example, Nursery children learn to navigate the space beneath a parachute as the wind billows in and out. Throughout the curriculum, pupils learn to form strong friendships with each other. They demonstrate kindness, empathy and support. They have very well-planned opportunities to develop exceptionally strong social skills. For example, pupils organise an end of year ‘prom’ where pupils dance, listen to music, drink mocktails and make social connections.
