Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Academic Progress: Pupils achieve well during their time at the school. If they stay long enough, most pupils attain accredited qualifications. Shorter-stay pupils work on tasks linked to their previous school studies to enhance their opportunities for successful reintegration.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Your behaviour in and around the school is good. You told me how much you enjoy school and most of you come every day.
Support for Pupils Falling Behind: When pupils are too ill to attend classes, teachers and teaching assistants regularly teach them on the wards so that they all keep pace with their learning.
Teacher Engagement: Teaching is highly effective in inspiring pupils to re-engage with learning. This is because teachers provide a very good balance of support and challenge which keeps pupils interested and helps them to make good progress.
Impact of Teaching on Student Progress: Outstanding teaching is a key feature of pupils’ successes. Lessons are calm and focused and much of the teaching is individual.
Strengths or Challenges with Teaching Staff: Staff are rigorous about providing the best environment possible, ensuring that teaching and learning are matched exceptionally well to individual needs and effectively challenge students to work towards the next stage of education or work.
Opportunities for Parent Involvement: Close working relationships with external agencies and with pupils’ previous schools all contribute to pupils’ successes.
Communication with Parents: The school has developed a clear assessment and tracking system that provides a very clear view of minute steps of progress. This is shared with pupils and parents.
Parent Satisfaction: Very few parents and carers responded to the inspection questionnaire. Those who responded are supportive of the school, saying that their children enjoy school and that the school keeps their children safe.
Handling Conflicts and Concerns: The headteacher has an excellent vision for the school. They have embedded their ambition for the school extremely well by driving improvement vigorously since the last inspection.
Actions to Enhance Education Quality: They have successfully taken on responsibility for a wider range of pupils and have developed a clear assessment and tracking system that provides a very clear view of minute steps of progress.
Managing Bullying and Ensuring Safety: Safeguarding procedures are excellent and each different unit is extremely safe. Pupils acknowledge that they are very safe at school.
Behaviour and Attitudes of Pupils: Pupils’ good behaviour is evident in and around the school and is reflected in their enjoyment of all their school activities.
Promoting Pupils' Welfare and Safety: Very well targeted support enables most pupils to make the very best of the opportunities provided, so that when they return to their mainstream schools the vast majority attend better, behave better and achieve more highly than before.
Extracurricular Activities & Clubs: Visits to see performances of plays by Shakespeare and to local art galleries, regular swimming and horse riding are just a few examples of activities that promote their aspirations and enthusiasm for learning.
Balancing Academics with Extracurriculars: Students' good personal development is promoted by outstanding care, support and guidance. Comments such as, ‘It’s great here, they make learning fun and they listen to you’, show that students really get on well with the staff and each other.
Outdoor Facilities: Looking after pets, designing and making hutches for the rabbits, feeding and cuddling them provide new opportunities for pupils to take care of something other than themselves.
Career Counselling Services: The school has its own careers adviser which ensures that students all have opportunities to learn about relevant work placements, preparing them well for their futures.
Preparation for Next Key Stage: Staff work very well with a range of agencies, for example, combining with students’ previous schools to promote continuity.
Support for SEND: Personalised learning targets ensure that tasks are tailored effectively to meet pupils’ needs and abilities. Vulnerable and fragile pupils, including looked after children, are identified and well supported.
Subjects Offered: High-quality teaching and learning are matched exceptionally well to individual needs and effectively challenge students to work towards the next stage of education or work. Vocational opportunities are provided and more-able students thoroughly enjoy their GCSE studies and are keen to do well.
