How does the school know how effective its provision is:
The School is inspected and monitored by Ofsted. Inspection reports are
available from the website or from the school's reception. We received a "Good"
rating in our most recent full Ofsted Care Inspection (2023) and an "Outstanding"
rating in the most recent Education Ofsted inspection (2022).
""Prior's Court is an exceptional school that serves some very special pupils outstandingly well.
Through its intensive support, the school gives a voice to its pupils, many of whom have struggled for
years to be heard.
"Pupils feel safe at the school because they know that staff will support them every step of the way.
They trust adults to look after them, and they know that adults will help them to overcome
challenges when these arise."

provision.
