We’re delighted to share that MacIntyre School has been rated ‘Good’ in all areas, with Personal Development rated as ‘Outstanding’ in Ofsted’s recent inspection.
In the inspection, which took place 6-8th February, Ofsted stated that:
Pupils relish their time at MacIntyre School because it makes a positive and pivotal difference to their lives. Many have a history of negative experiences of education. However, from the moment pupils step through the school gates, they experience a nurturing and caring welcome.
The report also highlighted how positively parents and carers spoke about the advice and resources provided. One parent said:
This school is a lifeline for our child and the family.
In response to the news, Catherine Clifford, Head of Education at MacIntyre School, said:
We are delighted with the recognition in this report with specific comments about how pupils “become confident and independent learners who feel loved and respected” and how the school’s curriculum is adapted around each pupil’s personal learning goals, their individual starting points and their education, health and care (EHC) plan targets.
We work hard, alongside our colleagues in the children’s homes, to ensure that every opportunity to learn is maximised for every young person and we are so pleased that this is having the intended impact on each young person’s life.
Well done team!
