Ofsted Information

Following the first Ofsted inspection at Prospect House Primary Specialist Support School in July 2023, our school has been graded as ‘outstanding’ in all areas.

In the report Inspectors comment that, “Prospect House provides an inspiring learning environment in which pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities flourish. Pupils are extremely happy and safe. Leaders and staff have created a respectful and nurturing school where everybody matters.”
 

They recognise that,

“Adults are incredibly ambitious for every pupil. As a result of steely determination and a high-quality curriculum, every pupil excels.” 

They go on to observe that, “Pupils have positive attitudes to learning. Lessons are rarely disrupted due to inappropriate behaviour. Pupils said that they feel safe in school. They told inspectors that there is always someone who they can talk to if they have a problem.”
 

Other observations made in the report include:

“Leaders approach to pupils wider personal development is excellent. Pupils have carefully organised opportunities to use the different therapeutic facilities in the school.” 

“Pupils and staff care for each other. Pupils are motivated to learn, displaying strong levels of engagement. They show determination to succeed, even when they find learning tricky. No learning is interrupted by other pupils because every staff member is skilled in supporting pupils’ behaviour.”

“The planned experiences to support pupils physical and mental health are exceptional.”

“Adults know pupils and their families very well. They are alert to risks and raise any concerns efficiently. Leaders work with a range of partners when required. This helps pupils and families to receive the support they need.”

“Leaders prioritise pupils understanding of how to keep themselves safe, including online. Pupils have plenty of opportunities to demonstrate their feelings and concerns to adults which is central to keeping them safe.”

Headteacher, Tracy Gallier said,

”We are already so proud of our staff and students and how well the school has flourished during the first year on our new site, I am delighted to see that this is reflected in the comments and that the commitment and achievements of the team are recognised throughout the report. This is a wonderful achievement for our community.”
