The Endeavour School provides for pupils with complex needs. The great majority have moderate learning difficulties and a few have severe learning difficulties. Forty percent of pupils have autistic spectrum disorder, and some have behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. Pupils may be admitted to Endeavour at any time in their school career. The complexity of pupils’ needs in Key Stages 1 and 2 is increasing. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs. About one fifth of the pupils are girls, and four fifths are boys. Almost all pupils are from White British backgrounds, and none speak English as an additional language. About one third of the pupils are eligible for the pupil premium, which is an additional sum of money provided by the government to support looked after children, those eligible for free school meals and those from Forces families. This is about twice the national average. The number of pupils on roll is increasing steadily. Building work to create four extra classrooms is about to begin, after which the school’s capacity will rise to 120 pupils. The school has an outreach service which provides support and training for parents, staff and pupils of other schools.
