School Description

Ramsden Hall School is a weekly residential special school for boys with social, emotional and mental health needs. Nineteen pupils reside at the school for one to four nights a week. Pupils are referred to the school from Essex County Council and surrounding local authorities. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan. Most of them have additional disabilities or special educational needs, such as autistic spectrum disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Most pupils are White British and very few speak English as an additional language. More pupils than average start or leave the school part-way through their education. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils who receive support from pupil premium funding is high. The pupil premium is additional funding to support pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and those looked after by the local authority. A small number of pupils attend alternative providers for part of their education. These include: Rally Sports Academy in the Wickford Action Learning Centre, Downham; BEP Group, Chelmsford; and the café in St Peter’s Hospital, Maldon. At the time of the previous inspection, the school was operating from two sites 40 miles apart. Now the school is operating on a single site. The school was placed in special measures at the previous inspection and has subsequently received five monitoring visits by Ofsted to determine how much progress it was making in meeting its areas for improvement. Since the last inspection, the governing body has been replaced with an interim executive board, a new acting headteacher has taken up post and the leadership team has been re-organised. The school has also received support from a consultant headteacher. The school has applied for conversion to an academy and expects this to be established by April 2016.
