Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
As pupils arrive in the morning, they bound up excitedly to their assigned smiling and welcoming adult. These caring key adults immediately engage each pupil in bespoke activities, which are carefully designed to support pupils to feel emotionally ready to begin their day's learning.
The school has a clear vision. It is determined to provide pupils with the very best all-round social and academic education that it can. The school plans and uses resources extremely well to promote pupils' learning. The individualised teaching and therapeutic provisions are also highly effective. Pupils are thus exceptionally well supported to develop the knowledge and skills that they need to lead successful and meaningful lives.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has put much thought into designing a highly ambitious curriculum for all. It is meticulously focused on meeting the needs of pupils, all of whom have autism. The school is very adept at flexing its curriculum to respond to the changing needs of cohorts. It does so without compromising the rigour of the curriculum. Teaching staff work in strong collaboration with the school's therapeutic teams. They all use initial and ongoing assessments to determine the exact academic, therapeutic and health needs of each pupil. Staff use this information very effectively to set aspirational individualised targets and support plans.
