What the report says...
This is an outstanding school where pupils enjoy learning and are very well cared for.
An exciting curriculum, with a fully inclusive range of opportunities, helps pupils
develop into responsible youngsters, well prepared for the next step in their
education. Consequently, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities
acquire skills which lead to greater independence in learning.
Pupils make excellent progress because teachers match the learning explicitly to their
individual needs. The outstanding support given to pupils by teaching assistants
ensures full access to the curriculum regardless of disability.
Outstanding teaching leads to high-quality engagement from pupils because lessons
are active and fun! In a science lesson, older pupils investigated combining different
substances to find out how materials react to each other. They thoroughly enjoyed
finding out why a mini explosion occurred when dropping a sugary sweet into a fizzy
drink. The way in which pupils with disabilities are fully involved in lessons with their
friends is a testament to the inclusive school community.
The harmonious school community is the result of excellent relationships between
pupils and staff. Parents and carers, staff and pupils all say that behaviour is very
good. Much emphasis is put on the emotional well-being of pupils and this means
they feel confident to share any concerns or worries with the adults in school.
Parents and carers report a high level of confidence in the work of the school. They
particularly praise the inclusive nature of opportunities and how well their children
are prepared for life skills. As one parent put it, ‘The school brings up a better
generation.’
