My Choice is a company providing residential care for children looked after. Osprey House is a very small independent special school situated in a large house in a residential area in Surrey. The school was registered in September 2015. The school provides education for boys and girls aged from 11 to 16 who are unable to attend mainstream school. This means that the school roll can change quickly and pupils sometimes attend the school for very short periods of time. This school is registered for three pupils. The school admits pupils who have severe social, emotional and behavioural difficulties which prevent their attendance at mainstream school. Pupils typically join the school with a history of disrupted education and some have missed extended periods of schooling. Pupils do not require a statement of special educational needs or an education, health Inspection report: My Choice School Osprey House, 13–15 June 2017 Page 8 of 11 and care plan to attend the school.
