The Quest School is a very special school, and pupils are rightly very proud of it. The education that pupils receive is exceptional. The school motto, ‘achievements never thought possible,’ sums up life here. Staff place the safety and care of pupils at the heart of everything they do. They get to know an impressive amount about each pupil and their learning quickly. Consequently, each pupil is taught a highly personalised learning programme. Pupils love to attend school and nearly all attend very well. Those who struggle are well supported. As a result, their attendance improves swiftly. Pupils are happy and safe, and bullying is never an issue. Pupils benefit highly from the well-established routines that are followed. This leads to a calm, purposeful learning environment. While pupils’ behaviour is very complex and often challenging, staff know pupils incredibly well. This allows them to provide the right amount of support at the right time. Pupils take part in a wide range of experiences that help them to develop as wellrounded individuals. Inspectors particularly enjoyed watching pupils prepare for their parts in the Christmas show. Expert support from staff enabled each pupil to participate fully, with some pupils using their communication systems.
