This is a time of positive change at Langley School. Inspirational leaders, dedicated staff and a dynamic vision are driving improvements. All are focused on finding a way to overcome barriers to learning pupils face, caused by special educational needs and/or disabilities. However, this is not consistently the reality for all pupils to get the most from being here. Pupils have a wide variety of needs, including autistic spectrum conditions, sensory processing needs and speech, language and communication needs. Staff are caring and attentive and understand pupils’ needs well. However, they do not always provide support that meets pupils’ needs as closely as it could. This is a calm, happy school, where relationships matter. Behaviour is positive in lessons and around school. Staff work hard to build positive relationships with pupils and their families. When pupils and their families need help, staff act to provide it quickly. Parents appreciate and value this. Horse riding, forest school visits, trips and a residential enrich the lives of pupils. Cycling, climbing, football and reading tents provide exciting ways to spend lunchtimes and break times. Singing and signing assemblies provide positive opportunities for this community to come together and celebrate.
