Shapwick School Receives Outstanding OFSTED Report
Everyone at Shapwick is delighted with the exceptional results from the recent Ofsted inspection which awarded us outstanding in all categories. Here are just a few of the highlights from the report :-
"Shapwick School provides an outstanding quality of education supplemented by a residential provision that is outstanding in all respects and it meets its aims very successfully."
"Given the nature of pupils' learning difficulties, particular attention is paid to all aspects of literacy, focusing on the promotion of language and communication skills generally. While this feature permeates all subjects, the school also makes available very high-quality additional provision through the work of occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and the literacy intervention programmes."
"Pupils make outstanding progress in their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. They are excellent ambassadors for the school, maturing into respectful, courteous and thoughtful young people with very good understanding of right and wrong."
"Parents and carers wholeheartedly confirm that their children make significant progress while at the school and in the case of residential pupils they attribute this to the highly effective joint working of residential and school staff. As one put it, 'they both clearly understand the needs of our child.'
Mr. Jon Whittock, Headmaster commented "I am absolutely delighted with the report we have received from Ofsted, my team and I will use the report as a springboard to continue to move the School forward in all aspects."
