What This School Does Well

Staff build strong relationships with pupils and prioritise their personal development through a nurturing environment and varied experiences like animal therapy and outdoor trips. The school successfully prepares pupils for adulthood by teaching practical life skills and providing careers guidance.
Key Strengths
- Strong pastoral care and relationships - staff take time to listen to pupils and create a nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and valued
- Excellent personal development programme including life skills, trips, animal therapy, and careers education
- Good behaviour and positive relationships between pupils and staff
- Wide-ranging PSHE curriculum covering healthy relationships, democracy and equality
- Clear vision to re-engage struggling pupils with individualised, welcoming approaches
Areas for Improvement
- English curriculum is not ambitious enough and does not develop reading and writing skills effectively
- Curriculum across subjects is inconsistently sequenced with unclear knowledge progressions and mismatches between intended learning and tasks pupils attempt
- Targets for pupils with SEND are too broad and not used effectively to adapt learning
- Quality assurance processes do not identify curriculum deficiencies or enable accurate understanding of teaching quality
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with strong pastoral support and pupils feeling confident to discuss concerns with staff.
Extracurricular Activities
Animal care and animal therapies at nearby farm, trips, public transport skills, cooking lessons, careers education
Intuition Holistic Education is a welcoming special school that successfully re-engages pupils who have had negative educational experiences, but the overall quality of education requires improvement due to weaknesses in curriculum design and teaching.
