The school has recently appointed a new headteacher. She is working in the school for two days a week and takes up her substantive post in January 2020. At the beginning of the inspection, the headteacher had been in post for two days. The school offers a number of assessment places for nursery-aged children. All other pupils have an education, health and care plan. The school caters for pupils with moderate, severe and complex learning difficulties and those with an autism spectrum disorder. The school does not use any alternative provision. Some sixth-form students attend Pershore College for one to two days a week, fully supervised by members of staff from the school.
