School Description

The school caters for pupils with severe or profound learning difficulties from across Surrey. Almost all pupils have a statement of special educational needs. A very few are on assessment places and are awaiting a statement. About a quarter of pupils have additional visual, hearing or multi-sensory impairments, or have a diagnosis of autism. Pupils join the school at different times, not just in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Most pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is very low, and there are a very few pupils new to speaking English. There are more boys than girls. The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives the additional government funding, known as the pupil premium, is above average. This funding is for pupils who are eligible for free school meals and those in the care of the local authority. The school receives primary school sports funding for its primary aged pupils. Additional funding is also received to help those in Year 7 catch up. Sixth form pupils attend the nearby North East Surrey College of Technology (NESCOT) to undertake work-related courses and training. The school does not enter pupils early for examinations.
