Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
At Crookhey Hall School, the school motto of 'preparing pupils for life in modern Britain' shines through in the experiences that pupils have. Pupils learn to engage with education while learning about themselves and the wider world.
Pupils enjoy attending school and feel valued by staff. Trusting relationships exist between staff and pupils. This helps pupils to feel safe and secure.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
All pupils at the school have special educational needs and/or disabilities. The clinical team work closely with staff to help shape the delivery of the curriculum to meet pupils' needs. This is regularly evaluated to match pupils' needs as they develop.
Pupils learn a curriculum that carefully considers what they will learn and when this will be taught. The school has carefully set out what pupils need to know and remember at each stage. This includes some opportunities for pupils to revisit learning to help them know and remember more. Many staff are experts in their subjects. This enables them to make changes to the curriculum in response to what is working well. However, some checks that the school makes on pupils' learning do not enable staff to respond quickly enough to pupils' gaps in knowledge. When this happens, pupils do not learn as well as they could.
