School Description

Paternoster is a special school for children who have severe learning difficulties or profound and multiple learning difficulties. Since the previous inspection, the school has seen an increase in the number of pupils who have autistic spectrum disorders and associated behaviour and emotional needs. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs or an education and health care plan. Although the school is designated for those aged two to 18 years, currently there are no children under three years old and there is no sixth form. At the time of the inspection, there were two children in the early years provision, and therefore no separate judgement was made. The percentage of pupils who are eligible for pupil premium funding is below the national average.
