Strengths
- “Pupils speak highly of their education at High Close School.”
- “They feel accepted and cared for, and they thrive in this inclusive setting.”
- “Pupils who are new this term were seen to have settled quickly, and one told inspectors that they have already made new friends.”
To improve
- “While a range of study options are provided, leaders plan to develop this.”
- “However, leaders know that there are not yet enough varied opportunities for pupils to fully explore a broader range of future pathways.”
- “Currently, there are limited opportunities to explore the world of work through the current curriculum offer.”
