Rosa House School

Overview: Rosa House School is a caring and warm school that provides a safe and supportive environment for pupils to learn in. The school has high expectations of pupils' achievement and provides a well-considered curriculum that is designed to meet their needs and interests.

Strengths:

• Pupils are encouraged to contribute to all aspects of school life, leading fundraising projects and participating in pupil voice activities.
• Pupils are respectful and keen to learn, with most living up to the high standards of behaviour that staff have of them.
• The school provides effective support for pupils who struggle to manage their emotions or behaviour, helping them to regulate their emotions over time.
• Pupils benefit from a comprehensive programme to promote their wider development, including learning about healthy relationships, keeping safe, and respecting differences between people.

Areas to improve:

• In some subjects, gaps in pupils' learning are not identified as precisely as they could be, limiting how effectively staff shape new learning for pupils.
• The school's actions to improve attendance rates for some pupils have not had the intended impact, with a small number of pupils missing valuable learning experiences and limiting their achievement.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
