SCS Update 24/03/2023

Dear Families, 

We hope this finds you well during a very important week for our school community. 

The Ofsted Inspection of our school took place this week with a team of three inspectors. The school, NHS therapies, and Multi-agency specialists teams’ integrated provisions were observed across every curriculum pathway. We are very proud of the pupils and teams, and await the outcome letter which is published after 30 calendar days. Thank you for supporting the process and we look forward to reading the Ofsted Inspection Report with you in May.   

There is one week left in this Spring Term before we return for the final term of this academic year. Classes are completing the progress review for all pupils over the next week. We are inviting all families to attend an optional Progress Meeting during the week of 24th April 2023. We were fully involved in the inspection process this week so the schedule for your child’s class will be shared next week with the End of Term Highlights Newsletter.  
 
Wishing families that have started the important month of Ramadan peaceful reflections, and all of our families an enjoyable weekend.  

Yours Sincerely,
The Senior Leadership Team
