OFSTED Praise

Our education provisions have been commended by inspectors:

“Pupil's spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. It is strongly supported by the integrated provision of the school and home, underpinned by outstanding relationships throughout the establishment.” OFSTED 2010

“…. Provides a good quality of education which is suitably modified to meet the needs of individual students. A high quality of care is provided in practice by the dedicated teachers and residential staff, who work hard to ensure that the school’s aims are met and the students make at least satisfactory progress.” OFSTED 2009

“The quality of the curriculum is good. It has a number of strong features designed to meet students’ needs within the context of their very particular and challenging circumstances. It provides suitable opportunities for students to make progress, both within the school and through a range of other well-chosen activities linked to the broader aspects of their care.” OFSTED 2009

“A positive and proactive approach ensures that all young people are encouraged and supported in their education. All young people have clear educational plans in place which detail the type of programme they should be receiving. Excellent support is provided to young people who have been out of school for a substantial period of time both in specialised and mainstream provision. Carefully planned and gradual reintegration programmes contribute to positive educational expectations within the home.” OFSTED 2008

“At the school, staff provide very good role models, which encourage pupils to relate well to each other and establish positive relationships.” ESTYN 2008
