What This School Does Well
Rosewood School excels at helping students who have struggled in other schools. Teachers create a supportive, challenging learning environment with high expectations, and students gain real confidence and belief in themselves. The school's focus on good relationships and individualised learning means all students, including those with additional needs, make strong progress.
Key Strengths
- Students achieve well across a wide range of subjects and are well prepared for further education, training or work
- Teaching is good and sometimes outstanding, with brisk lesson pace and strong teamwork between teachers and teaching assistants
- Behaviour in lessons and around school is good, with students polite and feeling safe
- Leadership has improved all main aspects of the school, with strong staff teamwork and good governor accountability
Areas for Improvement
- Teachers do not always clearly tell students what knowledge and skills they should gain by the end of lessons
- Students do not work in pairs or small groups often enough, which slows progress
- Attendance is lowered by poor attendance from a small number of students
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective - no concerns were expressed by students, staff, governors or parents, and students demonstrate clear awareness of keeping safe on the internet, roads and water.
Extracurricular Activities
Out-of-school courses at local college and Wheels project
Rosewood School is a good school that educates students with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. Students achieve well and make good progress, with improved teaching and leadership since the previous inspection.
