External Reports Our most recent Ofsted inspection
took place in January 2008. The main paragraph of the report says
this about our school:
This is an outstanding school providing
exceptional value for money. Representative views from parents
include, 'We very much like the ethos of the school and its holistic
approach to each individual child.' Although attainment on entry to
the school is very low, achievement is outstanding, given the
severity of pupils' learning difficulties and/or disabilities.
Outstanding care, guidance and support ensure that pupils come to
terms with their difficulties and develop very high levels of
self-esteem, which had been eroded due to previous disengagement in
education. Progress is excellent across the school because the
quality of teaching is outstanding. Teachers develop excellent
relationships with pupils and manage their behaviour particularly
well. Consequently, pupils settle into learning routines very
quickly and develop realistic and high aspirations about their
learning. Stimulating presentation of work in lessons captures
pupils' interest and so they enjoy working hard. The rich and
vibrant curriculum meets pupils' needs very well. Pupils enjoy
especially the chances to learn through practical experiences. Many
pupils gain a good number of external awards and national
accreditations of subjects during their time at this school. A high
proportion of pupils gain very good grades at full GCSE level
including English, mathematics and science.
