Residential Ofsted Report
An Ofsted residential report for a specialist school is a detailed evaluation conducted by the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services, and Skills (Ofsted) to assess the quality of care and accommodation provided in a school with residential or boarding facilities. This report focuses on the welfare, safety, and overall experience of students who live at the school, often highlighting key areas such as safeguarding practices, staff support, the quality of accommodation, and how the school meets the specific needs of its students, especially those with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND). The findings aim to ensure that students are provided with a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment that supports both their personal development and educational progress. Ofsted assigns a grade, ranging from "Outstanding" to "Inadequate," alongside recommendations for improvement to help the school maintain or enhance its standards.
