Challenge Partners

The school views external feedback and validation as an important part of it’s development. We are a member of the special school’s network hub for Challenge Partners; a practitioner-led collaboration to lead on school improvement through peer review. The school is part of a network of schools which annually take part in reciprocal peer to peer reviews, led by a lead inspector, usually Ofsted or HMI. The school had a virtual Challenge Partners review in 2020–2021 which focused on three key areas; Leadership and Management, Curriculum and Remote Learning. The report recognises the work of the school over the year and this is reflected in a really positive report. Read the school Challenge Partners Review Reports below by clicking on the link below.
