School Description

Ladywood School caters for pupils of primary school age with complex learning needs. There is a wide range of learning needs most often characterised by moderate or severe learning difficulty and autism. Each pupil has a statement of special educational needs. Most pupils join the school in their Reception Year but some join later from other Bolton primary schools. The majority of pupils are boys from White British backgrounds although about a quarter of pupils are girls and about one in five is from a minority-ethnic background. About a third of the pupils are understood to be entitled to free school meals. Five of the pupils were looked after by the local authority at the time of the inspection. The school has achieved many national awards. These include Healthy School status, Investor in People (Gold), Active School, Artsmark (Gold), Sing-Up (Silver) and the International School Award. It has also has been awarded the local authority's Inclusion Kitemark at gold level. It has won national recognition for its work with parents and carers, inclusion and for educating pupils on the autistic spectrum. The headteacher is a National Leader in Education and the school a National Support School. The school shares its site with Masefield Primary School. In January, the school became responsible for the Bolton Outreach Service, providing support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities within the local authority. This service was not inspected, although inspectors evaluated the impact of the arrangements on the school and its pupils.
