“Staff have a good understanding of pupils’ needs and starting points. This helps to ensure that pupils get the education, social and mental health support they need. As a result, pupils integrate successfully into mainstream schools, produce work of a high quality, and develop positive attitudes towards further education, employment and apprenticeships.”
Ofsted, June 2025
“Staff know pupils well and help them to learn to manage their feelings. This helps pupils return to their mainstream school, or to start at a new school when they are ready.”
