SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

Like many special schools, Mowbray is changing to meeting the needs of very complex pupils; currently we are seeing a rise in admissions of ASD pupils and in particular children with Asperger's. To accommodate such children, we work in partnership with local mainstream schools, this allows pupils to access a variety of GCSE courses at those schools, with specialist staffing support. We have created a specialist ASD resource for very complex primary aged pupils, run by staff with high expertise in this area. Currently 25 per cent of our pupils have ASD. We are also seeing a rise in pupils with emotional difficulties, this affects their educational attainment, but not necessarily their cognitive abilities; their needs are enhanced through individual learning programmes, college courses and work placements. We have partnerships with the Speech and Language Resource which educates 30 primary aged pupils of whom approximately 75 per cent successfully return to mainstream education by secondary transfer.

The school is in a beautiful part of the world and is resourced and equipped to a very high standard. Parents are most welcome to contact the headteacher, who will be happy to discuss our provision with you and show you around our school.
