In March 2005 Ofsted inspectors reported that:
"Students with SEN, including those from the special unit for the hearing impaired, make very good progress overall and benefit from their high degree of integration into mainstream classes."
"The staffing of the curriculum for students with SEN is good, well qualified and experienced."
"Pupils have access to specialist, modern accommodation."
"Students with SEN are very well cared for, guided and supported.
This is an inclusive school and all are made to feel part of it. Students speak positively of help given to them by their SEN staff. Staff care for them and nurture them and they feel able to go to adults who they trust."
"The school works very well with parents and carers and with the community to support students with SEN."
"The headteacher, senior management team and governors are fully committed to the vision of almost total inclusivity and have succeeded in creating a positive, welcoming environment for many students with SEN. The management of the provision for students with SEN is good, as is the management of the HI unit."
