School Description

Since the previous inspection, school systems have become confused and weakened. This is so much so that the school is not providing an acceptable standard of education. Recently, leaders have tried to improve how well the school keeps pupils safe. However, safeguarding is still not good enough. Leaders do not check with enough rigour that their new approaches are working. Staff are caring. This helps pupils to feel secure while in the school. Pupils are kind to one another and show respect for staff. They have some interesting experiences. For example, the new sensory room is a stimulating space. Pupils can make sounds and lights move, with just a touch. Staff bring stories to life here. However, pupils’ learning across the school and across subjects is not organised well. Sometimes, the expectations of what pupils can do are too low. The new headteacher wants to make sure that learning is ambitious for pupils and that it helps them to be ready for life in the sighted world. Work has started on improving the curriculum. But there is still a lot to do. Plans for many subjects are not clear or well thought through. Pupils’ education and learning support plans are not drawn together well enough to meet their needs, support their behaviour effectively and prepare them for what comes next.
