This school makes provision for pupils with physical difficulties, severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder, specific communication and language disorders, visual impairment and hearing impairment. Most pupils have additional complex medical needs. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs. The number on roll has increased since the previous inspection, particularly in the Early Years Foundation Stage. The needs of these children are more complex than they were previously. This school does not use any other alternative schools or locations to provide regular education for its pupils. The proportions of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds, including those from families where English is an additional language, are above average. These pupils are represented across all the different disability and special educational needs groups in the school. An above average proportion of pupils are eligible for pupil premium funding, which is extra government funding for pupils looked after by the local authority and known to be eligible for free school meals. The school has a service level agreement with Birmingham City Local Authority to support mainstream schools across the city in providing for pupils with physical difficulties. Brays has status as a National Teaching School, a National Support School and a National School of Creativity.
