School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since the last inspection, Kemball School has more than doubled in size. Leaders and governors have continued in their efforts to drive the school forward despite the rapid increase in pupil numbers. You, along with your deputy headteacher, have a clear passion for ensuring that the needs of all pupils are met, while retaining the relationship you have built with each family. You have taken the school on an incredible journey by accepting pupils who have needs that are unfamiliar to you and your staff. Leaders, staff and governors have risen to this challenge by introducing a robust system of continuing professional development and constantly adapting the school environment to meet the needs of all pupils. You have clear expectations of your pupils and staff and you are quick to determine the next steps required to continue in your ambition to provide a stimulating yet safe environment for your pupils. You have introduced new schemes of work and programmes for pupils who have profound and multiple learning difficulties, such as the weekly café, which post-16 students run.
