School Description

The school makes provision for pupils with moderate learning difficulties, severe learning difficulties and profound and multiple learning difficulties. Over a third of the pupils on roll also have autistic spectrum disorders. Other additional needs include physical disability, hearing impairment, visual impairment, speech language and communication needs, specific learning difficulties, behavioural, emotional and social difficulties and complex medical conditions. There is an assessment Nursery on site (that means children are referred by the Children’s Development Service via health visitors or doctors to be assessed). These children do not have statements of special educational needs. Those who make sufficient progress go on to continue their Early Years Foundation Stage provision in mainstream schools. The others are formally statemented. They then either continue their education in this school or go to another special school closer to where they live. All pupils from Reception through to and including the sixth form have statements of special educational needs. This school is ‘A Specialist College for Visual and Performing Arts’. The school makes use of alternative provision. Work-related subjects such as construction and motor mechanics, child care, performing arts and a business enterprise project are all delivered through Stratford College. The proportions of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds, including those from families who speak English as an additional language, are below average. These pupils are represented across all of the different disability and special educational needs groups in the school. A below average proportion of pupils are eligible for pupil premium funding, which is extra government funding for children looked after by the local authority and those known to be eligible for free school meals.
