School Description

Rodney House provides for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage and just beyond, who have a range of complex special educational needs. These include profound and multiple learning difficulties, global developmental delay, and social and communication difficulties. At the time of the inspection almost half of the children either had a diagnosis or were undergoing assessment for autistic spectrum disorders. This proportion is not necessarily typical and can change with new admissions. Children are admitted by referral from a multi-disciplinary assessment panel at any time in the year. At the time of the inspection the number of children attending was quite low but expected to build across the school year. Provision is at the Rodney House base and at four other satellite bases in children’s centres across the city. These are at: Old Moat Children’s Centre (Sure Start); Lyndene Road Children’s Centre (Barnardos); Sacred Heart Children’s Centre (Sure Start); and Martenscroft Children’s Centre (Sure Start). Children usually attend the base closest to where they live. All satellite bases are managed and staffed from Rodney House in liaison with the children’s centre staff. The school also provides outreach services on request to other early years settings across the city. Only a very small proportion of children are eligible for the pupil premium. The school holds a number of awards including Parent Partnership Award, National Healthy Schools status, Inclusion Quality Mark and Investors in People.
