Pupils are treated as individuals at Woodcroft School. Teachers are caring, make pupils feel safe and help and support them. Pupils like being with their friends in school. All parents who responded to Ofsted Parent View were positive about the care their child receives. All would recommend the school. As one parent stated, ‘Top marks for such a wonderful school in such a beautiful, peaceful setting.’ Most pupils receive effective support to manage their day-to-day needs and behaviours. However, staff do not use the information available sufficiently well to help identify all the support required for pupils with the most complex needs. Some pupils’ behaviour is not as well supported as it should be. Pupils access some well-thought-through activities to help their social and emotional development. However, they do not access a well-designed curriculum in other areas of their learning. This means that they do not learn as well as they could. Pupils told inspectors that they look forward to participating in outdoor activities. Looking after horses or digging the allotment provides pupils with a sense of responsibility and teamwork.
