We have recently been rated as a 'GOOD' school in all areas by Ofsted. Please see the full report on our Ofsted page, under the Key Information tab.
Here are some quotes from the report.
"Cardrew Court School is a place of healing and reintegration for its pupils."
"Staff share high aspirations. They seek to secure positive learning experiences for pupils... They commit to their learning because they know staff care about their success."
"Pupils benefit from positive relationships with staff. Staff promote care, tolerance and respect. Discriminatory or unkind behaviour is not tolerated. Pupils say that bullying is very rare, if it ever happens. They know who they can speak to if they are worried. Consequently, pupils are safe."
"Pupils’ reading is prioritised. The reading curriculum is sequenced carefully and underpinned by high-quality texts. Staff use timely checks to ensure pupils build on what they already know and can do."
"The promotion of pupils’ personal development is strong. Staff ensure that pupils have a rich experience of their local community. In lessons, pupils discuss beliefs and values through religious studies and personal, social and health education (PSHE) lessons."
