The Livity School
Catchment Area, Reviews and Key Information

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. The school provides very effective support for pupils who have complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). You have led the school effectively and carefully managed the challenges of recent significant leadership changes. You know your school very well, and your evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses is honest and accurate. This has supported you to put into place a number of school improvement strategies that have further strengthened the provision for pupils since the last inspection. Previous areas for development have been addressed effectively and strategically. For example, you have introduced monthly checks on pupils’ attendance. This has enabled you to maintain attendance levels even though your pupils’ needs have become more medically complex. You have also put in place a new system for reporting concerns. Where issues are identified, parents and carers feel they are swiftly addressed and suitable plans are put into place. Staff are overwhelmingly positive about their school, and report a sense of pride in being part of The Livity School. They feel that they have the support of school leaders and feel that the school is well managed. Highly effective work with external agencies ensures that staff have access to the specialist guidance they need. As a result, they feel confident to support even the most complex physical and medical needs.
