The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the previous inspection. You lead a dedicated and talented team that places pupils’ learning and personal development at the heart of all that the school does. Together, you, with your senior leaders and governors, successfully drive forward the vision that ‘everyone matters, every day counts’. Pupils thrive within the school’s caring ethos and they make good progress. Warm and trusting relationships are evident between staff and pupils throughout the day. Pupils told inspectors that they enjoy school and like their teachers ‘because they make learning fun’. During breaktimes, pupils play safely and cooperatively with each other, and they behave well in lessons. Teachers listen to pupils’ ideas with interest, and pupils are considerate towards each other. Support staff are sensitive and skilful when meeting the needs of pupils with highly complex medical and personal care requirements. You have built successfully on the many strengths that inspectors found when they previously inspected the school. Leaders have designed an innovative curriculum in each of your five different ‘family groups’ and in the sixth form. These groupings provide a tailored approach to meet the needs of the very wide range of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) for which the school caters. Family groups carefully take into account pupils’ different abilities. During our visits to the groups, we observed pupils engaging positively with all of their learning activities.
