School Description

Stubbin Wood School makes provision for pupils with moderate learning difficulties, severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorder. A number of pupils also have medical conditions, including epilepsy. Eighteen months ago the school moved into a new purpose built building. It is co-located with an academy. The two schools share resources and teaching. At the time of the inspection, the building work was not complete. The school also manages a community nursery on a different site. This was part of the inspection. The nursery has capacity for 52 children. Eighteen places are for children undergoing statutory assessment in respect of their disability and/or special educational needs. At the time of the inspection there were 32 children in the nursery. Nine were in the process of being assessed. A small minority are also known to have additional needs. There is a children’s centre on the same site as the community nursery. It is jointly managed by the governing bodies of this school and of Brookfields Primary School. It was not part of this inspection. All pupils on the main site have a statement of special educational needs. Those with special educational needs in the nursery are being assessed and do not as yet have a statement of special educational needs. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils for whom the school receives pupil premium funding is above average. Most pupils are White British. Very few of the minority ethnic pupils are learning to speak English as an additional language. There are significantly more boys than girls on roll. The school makes use of alternative provision. Most sixth form students attend West Nottinghamshire College one day a week where they study practical subjects such as cooking and creative arts. Sixth form provision is relatively new. It grew from four students on roll last year to 14 on roll this year. Most students enter the school from other special schools.
