It is designed to be bespoke to each pupil's needs. They make sure that these cater for pupils' differing communication and cognitive needs. Meticulous thought goes into building pupils' knowledge step by step.” – Ofsted, 2023 "Class teams and inter-class teams plan together, share ideas and review the effectiveness of their work. Each brings their expertise so that together they cater for the holistic needs of all pupils. Staff value the daily opportunities for collaborative planning and reflection." - Ofsted 2023 "Leaders give pupils experiences to prepare them for the world of work and for taking up supported internships. Students have several opportunities in school to develop their work skills." - Ofsted 2023 "Pupils are supported to develop strong social skills. Staff reward and celebrate pupils' successes.
