School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since the school became an academy, there has been a change in the nature of pupils’ special educational needs. Most pupils now in the school have severe and complex special educational needs, whereas in the past the majority have had moderate learning difficulties. You and your leadership team have responded to this change appropriately by developing a new curriculum. This curriculum meets pupils’ needs well because it focuses on what pupils need to know for life after school. Staff have a continuous focus on pupils’ independence and personal skills in lessons, at playtimes and throughout all school activities. This ongoing focus is helping to promote pupils’ personal skills, for example promoting personal hygiene, positive relationships with others, good communication skills and physical health. Alongside the new curriculum, you have designed a new system to assess pupils’ progress from Year 1 to Year 13. This assessment system allows leaders to monitor pupils’ progress in detail. However, leaders acknowledge that tweaks to this system are likely to be needed as all staff become accustomed to it.
