Special schools provide a unique and distinctive educational environment to meet the needs of the pupils in their community. Undertaking standard tests may not be appropriate and we do not show performance data for special schools.

The welfare of pupils and their families is at the heart of Downland. The school provides a calm and nurturing environment where pupils attend regularly. Many pupils have arrived from disrupted placements elsewhere. They describe how the school has a ‘fresh start culture.’ Pupils appreciate how staff see beyond their special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), which allows them to flourish. Pupils experience success because staff understand the individual needs of pupils well and have high expectations of them. They place high importance on the curriculum, which includes an individualised therapeutic approach. The school weaves the core skills of reading, writing and mathematics throughout the curriculum. However, the school is aware that pupils are not yet able to demonstrate their knowledge in their written work across other subjects. The school has high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils and staff follow the school’s approach to behaviour known as the ‘Downland Way.’ As a result, pupils behave well in lessons and in social situations. When pupils struggle with their emotions, staff take effective and supportive action, enabling pupils to re-engage with their learning quickly. Pupils know they have a voice. Excellent pastoral support and positive relationships with adults mean pupils feel valued.

2015 GCSE RESULTSImportant information for parents
Due to number of reforms to GSCE reporting introduced by the government in 2014, such as the exclusion of iGCSE examination results, the official school performance data may not accurately report a school’s full results. For more information, please see About and refer to the section, ‘Why does a school show 0% on its GSCE data dial? In many affected cases, the Average Point Score will also display LOW SCORE as points for iGCSEs and resits are not included.
Schools can upload their full GCSE results by registering for a School Noticeboard. All school results data will be verified.
