Ofsted Pupil Voice: What is it like to attend this school? | “Pupils described this school as friendly and a place that helps them to learn and be successful. Leaders, teachers and support staff are highly successful in creating this positive climate. They give pupils the tools they need to live a fulfilling life regardless of the challenges they might face”. |
| Ofsted Statements of Effectiveness | Quality of Education: “Each pupil is given a personal, bespoke curriculum that is both demanding and matched carefully to these needs”. Personal Development: “Matching the curriculum to pupils’ individual, specific needs means that, for some, the programme is focused on developing emotional and social skills, and pupils’ understanding of how to live healthily”. Behaviour & Attitudes of pupils: “The curriculum is broad and ambitious. No pupils are denied access to the full range of subjects and activities. Teachers adapt their teaching skilfully to ensure that all pupils understand the important ideas. In lessons, learning is rarely interrupted as pupils settle to work promptly”. Leadership, Management and Governance: “Leaders and teachers to account rigorously. For example, there are well-established procedures to monitor how well the curriculum supports pupils’ learning. Support for teachers is strong, including in training and ensuring their well-being. Safeguarding is of the highest priority for leaders, governors and staff”. |

| Ofsted Pupil Voice: | “Pupils love coming to Serenity School. They described their experiences very positively, saying that they are happy and feel safe.

A parent, reflecting on her daughter’s experience, said, ‘It is the best school she has attended in her whole life.’” |
| Ofsted Statements of Effectiveness | Quality of Education: In lessons, teachers and teaching assistants, known as progress partners, work well together to support pupils. They make learning interesting and provide plenty of opportunities for pupil discussion. This helps to bring together pupils’ ideas about what they are learning. Staff ask helpful questions that encourage pupils to think. Pupils hone their reading, writing and mathematical skills in lessons. Staff regularly check how pupils are progressing towards their individual targets. Personal Development: Pupils’ personal development is exceptional. The school’s approach to personal, social, health and economic education has been well thought out. Pupils learn a plethora of important topics in their personal and social development lessons. Assemblies support their understanding of these topics. What pupils learn helps to prepare them for adulthood. Behaviour & Attitudes of pupils: Pupils love coming to Serenity School. They described their experiences very positively, saying that they are happy and feel safe. Pupils get on well with each other and any bullying is tackled quickly. Leadership, Management and Governance: Proprietors and directors of the school have high expectations. They have developed sophisticated systems that help them to monitor leaders’ work. They challenge and support leaders in equal measure to ensure that the school’s statutory duties are carried out fully. This includes compliance with schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010. Leaders prioritise professional development and a suitable work-life balance for staff.” |
