School Description

Wren Spinney Community School is an exceptionally welcoming place for pupils and students to learn. Staff quickly form warm and caring relationships with pupils, and strong relationships with their families. Adults know the pupils extremely well. They work as a team to decide how best to support pupils so that they make the best progress possible. The school’s vision to build communication and enable independence is at the heart of every aspect of school life. Pupils are listened to and respected by staff. This helps them to feel happy and safe. The school has created an environment where every pupil is nurtured, valued and supported to be as independent as possible. Expectations are high, no matter what pathway pupils are following. This ensures that every pupil achieves their goals. Pupils enjoy a wide range of curriculum activities that promote their personal development. For example, pupils enjoy equine therapy and swimming to support their physical and mental health. Parents and carers told inspectors how their children had achieved far more than they could ever have hoped for. Parents commonly spoke of being part of the ‘Wren Family’ and the difference this school makes for their child.
