Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher, supported by her leadership team and the executive headteacher, has improved the quality of teaching, learning and assessment and, consequently, outcomes for pupils since the last inspection. The governing body has a good understanding of the school's work and governors share an ambition to raise standards even further.

They challenge leaders by asking probing questions to hold them firmly to account. Staff have a clear understanding of pupils' specific needs. Teachers demonstrate secure subject knowledge and plan well for the pupils they teach.

Support staff are deployed carefully to effectively manage those pupils who s...how behaviours that are more challenging. As a result, pupils are interested in their learning and understand how to improve their work. Safeguarding is effective and procedures are comprehensive.

The school works closely with other agencies to support pupils' good levels of personal development, behaviour and welfare. Pupils say they feel safe and staff deal with any issues of unkind behaviour swiftly. In 2015, almost half of all pupils at the end of key stage 4 successfully achieved five GCSE passes at grades A* to G in a range of subjects, including English, mathematics and science.

All groups of pupils, including those who are eligible for the pupil premium, make at least good progress from their different starting points. The curriculum is highly relevant to the needs of pupils. A broad range of subjects is offered and those pupils with speech, language and social communication needs and the most able pupils are challenged to succeed.

The attendance of pupils has improved. Very many pupils make rapid improvements in their attendance from when they first join the school and sustain their attendance over time. Pupils enjoy coming to school.

They understand how the school prepares them successfully for their future education, training or employment. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Not all groups of pupils make rapid progress from their individual starting points. This is true of a few older pupils.

Therefore, the quality of teaching, learning and assessment is yet to ensure the highest outcomes for all pupils. Strategies to support a very small number of pupils who attend school less frequently are not always successful.

Information about this school

The school caters for pupils from across Bexley who are supported by a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan for their social, emotional and mental health needs.

Pupils have a wide range of attainment when they enter the school. In 2009, the school became part of the New Horizons Federation with Westbrooke School and Bexley Pupil Referral Service (Pathways Short Stay School). The executive headteacher is a national leader of education (NLE).

There has been a rise in the number of pupils with autistic spectrum conditions and complex emotional difficulties. The proportion of pupils with autistic spectrum conditions is now over a third. A few pupils have moderate learning difficulties and others have speech, language and social communication needs.

Most pupils are White British. A few are from African, Asian or Black Caribbean backgrounds and one in 10 pupils speak English as an additional language. There are far more boys than girls.

The proportion of pupils eligible for the pupil premium (additional government funding which supports pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and those looked after by the local authority) is well above average. Year 7 catch-up funding is used to support pupils in school. The school meets requirements on the publication of specified information on its website.
