School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You and other leaders continue to provide a friendly, caring and safe environment where pupils work hard and are prepared well for adulthood. Your school values, dedicated to ensuring that pupils achieve their potential, are tangible throughout the school. Leaders are rightly proud of pupils and staff. You ensure that pupils continue to make good progress in ways which will have a hugely positive impact on their future success and happiness. For example, you have introduced effective new approaches which reduce the anxiety of many pupils and allow them to manage their own behaviour more successfully. During the inspection, the calm way in which pupils actively participated in the school production dress rehearsal was a credit to them and to the whole school. Collectively, leaders have an accurate view of the school’s effectiveness. You have worked hard to address successfully the areas for improvement from the last inspection. The promotion of communication is now a real strength of the school and pupils make very strong progress with their reading. Staff are proud to work at your school. They clearly know and understand the pupils and their individual needs very well. Staff are highly skilled, and adults’ high levels of commitment and care enable pupils to be as independent as possible, in line with your ambition for them.
