The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school noted at the last inspection. Your school continues to cater well for pupils who were unsuccessful in mainstream education because of their complex social, emotional or mental health needs. You and your staff have worked hard to provide a supportive and close-knit educational environment, which helps to ensure that all pupils thrive and achieve well. The school has made good progress in tackling the key areas for improvement that were identified at the last inspection. Your pupils are taught and supported by an expert and motivated staff. Staff have a good understanding of the different needs of each pupil, including those who have complex medical conditions. A wide range of carefully organised interventions, including tailored support, helps pupils to engage in learning, to experience success and to grow in confidence. You are very well supported by an impressive governing body. Skilled and experienced governors provide you with detailed challenge and support; this helps to keep attention focused on the educational progress made by pupils. The governing body is currently considering plans for forming a multi-academy trust with a neighbouring mainstream primary school. It recognises that doing so has the potential to provide pupils with more access to specialist teaching and greater mainstream experience. In turn, governors expect that this will prepare pupils more thoroughly for when they leave the school.
