School Description

Pupils thrive at this school. They learn in a stimulating environment, where adults deliver a curriculum that is exciting and helps pupils learn well. Pupils’ needs are often met through carefully planned activities from specialist teachers. Staff organise learning to get the very best from pupils. Pupils’ social, emotional and mental health needs are very well met. Pupils have positive and trusting relationships with staff. Staff take every opportunity to celebrate pupils’ successes in learning and personal development. Pupils have many opportunities for making choices and building self-confidence. They are rewarded for their hard work. From a daily warm welcome, pupils can flow into ‘singing and dancing assembly’. Good humour is very much a feature of the school day. Adults plan trips and visits as an essential part of the wider curriculum. For example, pupils really enjoyed their visit to the zoo in the first week of term to begin their new topic. Pupils flourish at Larwood and are ‘wired for learning’. Leaders enable every pupil to return to a regular pattern of school attendance and lessons. When they leave Larwood school, pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. This can be in a mainstream or in another special school.
