School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school successfully since the last inspection because staff are fully committed to ensuring that pupils are exceptionally well cared for. All staff, teaching and non-teaching, work together as a cohesive team in planning seamless support for pupils throughout the day. This support does not stop when pupils leave school at the end of the day, but extends to support for families to help them to meet their children’s needs at home. As a result, this school provides a complete care package from the moment pupils arrive to when they move on to secondary school. Parents who spoke with inspectors or who responded to Ofsted’s survey, Parent View, are overwhelmingly positive about the care that their children receive. They told us how, through the support provided, their children had developed. Often from starting points with no verbal communication, little eye contact and unable to display emotions other than frustration, children progress to using simple sentences, smiling and being able to play and work alongside friends. Parents talked about how this has transformed family life at home and how much their children enjoy coming to school. Since your last inspection, you have been appointed as headteacher and you have a new deputy headteacher. You have moved into a fabulous new building and have welcomed pupils who have profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) from their previous school that closed. From a period of managing considerable disruption, you are now back on track to a focus on improving learning.
