Woodfield School

Overview: Woodfield School continues to be a good school, providing specialist support for pupils with learning and additional needs. The school has a positive approach, building strong and trusting relationships between adults and pupils, and pupils feel safe in school.

Strengths:

• A cheerful warm welcome awaits pupils, and strong and trusting relationships between adults and pupils are built.
• Leaders aspire for pupils to be successful, and expectations around behaviour are high.
• Pupils receive effective support that helps them to become increasingly independent in their ability to regulate their own behaviour.
• Leaders are ambitious for every pupil to leave school confident and able to make a positive contribution to the world.
• Pupils are well prepared for their next stage of education, and a broad range of subjects are offered.

Areas to improve:

• Sometimes, some safeguarding records lack sufficient detail about the action taken in response to an incident.
• Too many pupils do not attend school regularly enough.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, but there are examples of where safeguarding records lack sufficient detail.
