Newman School is an inclusive all-through learning provider. Pupils learn at one of four sites dependent on their age and special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff care well for all pupils from the early years to the sixth form. Leaders have developed effective safeguarding systems to ensure that they keep all pupils safe. Leaders are improving the school’s curriculum to ensure it meets the needs of all pupils. Teachers design well prepared and organised lessons, so that pupils can learn more. Pupils experience an improved reading curriculum. They benefit from daily lessons to improve their reading skills. Leaders have ensured that staff have the training they need to teach phonics well. These developments are in the early stages and leaders have a clear plan for continued improvement. Pupils access a range of provision to meet their needs across all school sites. Pupils can access sensory spaces, a therapy swimming pool or ‘Independence House’. All school sites are well resourced. Leaders are continuing to develop the school site, including the early years outdoor spaces, to ensure all pupils can access modern facilities. Most pupils are happy at school. They feel well supported and cared for by staff. Pupils say behaviour is improving and bullying is not an issue. If it were, pupils say staff would deal with it effectively.
