Why Churchill Special School? At Churchill, we pride ourselves on creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student is empowered to reach their full potential and life beyond their time at school. Our school serves pupils with a range of special educational needs, and we are committed to providing a tailored and enriching educational experience. We are a special school with a unique environment which caters for 72 pupils aged between 8 and 18 working at age related expectations or just below. Our pupils have language and communication difficulties and high functioning autism. Pupils at Churchill school are at the centre of everything we do. We have high expectations for both behaviour and achievement and see that every learner has a unique personality and talents to be developed. Our learners access a GCSE curriculum from year 9 onwards. Geography is one of the GCSE subjects in our GCSE curriculum offer. Class sizes are either 11 or 12 pupils with a teacher and two teaching assistants.
We recently had our ungraded Ofsted Inspection in October 2024 and we are very proud to have been judged to have taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection, which was in 2019 where the school was graded outstanding. Pupils love our school. ‘Pupils love their school as this is a place where they can be themselves. Pupils build important social skills and make friends. Adults support pupils to celebrate their neurodiversity and recognise the shared similarities they have with others, regardless of background. One pupil echoed many others by saying ‘this is a school that any pupil in the world would want to go to’ (Ofsted 2024).
