School Description

Hawthorns school converted to become an academy school in September 2013. When its predecessor school, Hawthorns Community School was last inspected by Ofsted it was judged to be outstanding. The academy is part of the Enquire Learning Trust. The school is designated as a National Teaching School. The executive principal is a National Leader of Education. All pupils have moderate or severe learning difficulties. All pupils have additional complex needs. Almost all have a statement of special educational need or an education, health and care plan or are in the process of being formally assessed for such a plan. The majority of pupils are boys. The vast majority of pupils are White British. There are a well above average proportion of pupils who are disadvantaged, and who are supported through the pupil premium. The pupil premium is funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after by the local authority.
