School Description

The school does not meet requirements on the publication of statutory information about special educational needs provision on its website. Whitworth Park School and Sixth Form College is slightly larger than the average secondary school. Almost all pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups is low. Very few pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium is above the national average. Inspection report: Whitworth Park School and Sixth Form College, 7–8 December 2016 Page 9 of 12 The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is well below average. The proportion of pupils with a statement of special educational needs or with an education, health and care plan is average. The school meets the government’s current floor targets, which are the minimum expectation for pupils’ attainment and progress at the end of key stage 4. Whitworth Park is a trust school and the lead partner of the Spennymoor Learning Community Trust. The trust is a charitable company that supports pupils’ learning through partnerships with other organisations. The school hosts a local authority additional resourced provision for pupils with speech and language difficulties. The provision has places for up to 10 pupils. Currently, only two pupils attend the provision. Four pupils attend alternative provision at Cornerstones, East Durham College, the Delta School and the local authority’s hospital service. In addition, around 20 pupils attend Bishop Auckland College on a part-time basis.
