Since the previous inspection there have been significant changes to the school’s leadership and governance arrangements. The previous headteacher, following a period of absence, resigned and left in April 2017. The school’s deputy headteacher took up the post of acting headteacher in December 2016. This is a temporary arrangement. Many other senior leaders are either in temporary or interim roles, including two deputy headteachers and the head of post-16. The full governing body resigned or left in March 2017. In April 2017, several new governors, predominantly co-opted from the local authority, formed a small interim governing body, including two national leaders of governance. Inspection report: Arbour Vale School, 13–14 June 2017 Page 12 of 15 The acting headteacher is supported for two and half days per week by an executive leadership partner, brokered by the local authority and funded by the school. Arbour Vale School provides for pupils who have moderate or severe learning difficulties. Some pupils have profound and multiple learning difficulties and many have autistic spectrum disorder. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan. The school provides residential provision in the week, during term-time only, for up to 12 pupils. Some secondary-aged pupils attend alternative provision used by the school. During the inspection the school was not able to supply the precise details of these arrangements. A much higher proportion of pupils than the national average, approximately half of the school’s pupils, speak English as an additional language. Approximately one third of those on the school’s roll (a higher proportion than the national average) are supported by the pupil premium. The school does not meet requirements on the publication of information because some of the necessary information about the school’s spending of pupil premium funding and reading schemes are missing from its website.
