School Description

Pictor School provides for pupils between the ages of two and 11 who have a wide range of complex learning difficulties. Pupils often have a combination of learning difficulties including speech, communication and language difficulties. Many also experience social, emotional, behaviourial and physical difficulties. Over half of the pupils are on the autistic spectrum and have profound or severe learning difficulties. Most pupils have a statement of special educational needs. The early years operates as an assessment centre for young children. Following their assessment, some children are placed elsewhere, while others remain at Pictor for their primary education. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds. A high proportion of pupils are known to be disadvantaged and are, therefore, eligible for support through pupil premium funding. (The pupil premium is additional funding to support those pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after by the local authority.) The school holds the Primary Quality Mark 3, the Leading Parent Partnership Award, the Schools’ Financial Value Standard, and the Giving Speech Therapy Award. It also holds the Active Mark and is a nationallyaccredited Healthy School.
