Strengths

• “At Shepwell Short Stay School, pupils’ lives are changed for the better.”
• “Whatever the reason, they leave as caring, respectful, and inspirational young people who are proud to be part of their local community.”
• “Whether at the school site, the alternative provision, or through the hospital and home tuition, ambition and staff expectations of what pupils should achieve are high.”

To improve

• “However, a few pupils often find accessing the learning too hard because the learning is not always adapted well enough to their cognitive or learning needs.”

Safeguarding: Effective
