Our examination results continue to show that irrespective of need and diagnosis, all students, when provided with appropriate support and challenge can achieve accreditation. Furthermore, we are evidencing increasing numbers of students achieving qualifications, in certain subjects, that are in line with those achieved by their peers in mainstream settings.

Key Stage 2

Due to our students' complex needs and diagnoses at Key Stage 2, students are often pre-verbal and working below the expected standard.  As such the Key Stage 2 SATS are not achievable for them.  This leads to those students being dis-applied from the process and a teacher assessed grade being made.

What impresses me the most of all is the variety of experiences in the arts the young people have journeyed through. In each case the work has been undertaken with real energy and spirit of enquiry.
