School Description

Prestwood Lodge is a school for boys with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties aged between 11 and 17. An increasing proportion have additional complex difficulties, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autistic spectrum disorder, oppositional defiance disorder, cognition and learning, motor and sensory difficulties, speech language and communication needs and social communication difficulties. All students have a statement of special educational needs. The school has a high proportion of students eligible for support through additional pupil premium funding. This is additional government funding provided for students known to be eligible for free school meals, those looked after by the local authority and those with a parent in the armed services. In this school the vast majority of students receiving additional funding are those known to be eligible for free school meals. The school has also received Year 7 catch-up funding. This is additional funding for each Year 7 student who did not achieve at least a Level 4 in reading and/or mathematics at the end of Key Stage 2. The proportion of students from minority ethnic groups is lower than the national average and nearly all speak English as a first language. Mobility rates in the school are high, with many students joining the school at different times. A relatively low number are in the school all the way through from Year 7. The school enters students early for GCSE in some subjects. Most of the current Year 11 students were entered for the science GCSE in Year 10, a year early, and all were entered for mathematics. One student completed an English GCSE in Year 10. All of the Year 11 students in 2012–2013 were entered for science in Year 10 and most completed the citizenship short course. Prestwood Lodge forms part of the Chiltern Way Federation with nearby Wendover House School. Since September 2013 the school has offered post-16 provision and there are currently four students in Year 12, none of whom was in the school during the inspection as their curriculum is provided off site for two days a week.
