Gosberton House Academy judged 'Outstanding' by Ofsted for the third consecutive time
Gosberton House Academy has maintained its outstanding quality of special needs education for children, according to Ofsted.
The school, a specialist in teaching children with autism, sensory and other special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), received its third consecutive "Outstanding" judgement from Ofsted following a one-day inspection last month.
Part of the Lincolnshire Educational Trust, which also includes Holbeach Bank Academy, Holbeach Primary Academy and University Academy Holbeach, Gosberton House Academy was previously inspected in October 2012.
After its latest visit, a letter from Ofsted to the school praised it for providing a "children first culture in which all pupils are encouraged to do their best".
Louise Stanton, the school’s principal, said: "We strive to create an environment that is the very best it can be for all of our youngsters.
"A parent who has a child at Gosberton House Academy once told me that 'The school is a lifesaver - it has changed our family’s life.’”
"The letter from Ofsted is a fantastic achievement, the content of which truly reflects our wonderful children, staff and officially ‘Outstanding’ school.”
Nearly 100 children aged between four and 11 attend Gosberton House Academy where a charity playground challenge for international children's charity Unicef is due to take place on Friday.
The letter from Ofsted said: "The leadership team has maintained the outstanding quality of education in the school since the last inspection.
"Gosberton House Academy has successfully developed a ‘children first’ culture in which all pupils are encouraged to do their best.
"This is an inclusive school where pupils feel valued and where, in partnership with the vice principals and Lincolnshire Educational Trust, pupils enjoy the wide variety of resources available to them."
The letter also confirmed that Gosberton House Academy has a focus on "independence and lifelong learning, with a strong focus on learners acquiring knowledge in English and mathematics."
Ms Stanton said: "By Working Together and Learning Together, our school's motto, we are able to create an environment that is friendly, hard-working and which places each child at the very centre of our community."
