School Description

The school provides for pupils who live in Hastings and nearby towns and villages. Some pupils travel long distances to attend. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs. Since the previous inspection the school has experienced major changes and is now part of a hard federation with another special school. The schools are led by one governing body, an executive headteacher, with a head of school in charge of each school. Classes for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are located in a separate building at a local primary school, approximately one mile away from the main school site. Over 50% of pupils are eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional support for those in the care of the local authority, those with families in the services or those who are known to be eligible for free school meals. This is much higher than the national average. A growing number of pupils have an autistic spectrum condition. Almost all pupils have English as their first language at home. The school provides a number of after-school clubs. The partner school in the federation offers a summer holiday school for pupils when they leave at the end of Year 6 to help them prepare for the move to Year 7.
