CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SCHOOL

Notton House School is a residential, maintained special school with places for 55 boys aged 9 - 16 years. Forty-two students are currently on roll. The school is situated in the village of Notton in Wiltshire and was established to educate boys with emotional and/or behavioural problems. Following the local government re-organisation and the transfer of administration of the school from the County of Avon to Bristol City Council, the school’s catchment area reduced significantly, with students now being predominantly from Bristol. Students are generally of average or above average academic potential, but there are increasing numbers who also have more specific learning difficulties.

sequence of science lessons.  The school uses the primary sports funding well to encourage the pupils to develop more active lifestyles. Pupils compete in fixtures against other schools and both boys and girls enjoy professional coaching, for example in football from Bristol City FC. The school works with coaches from the nearby Park Sports Centre to deliver high-quality physical education lessons. Teachers work alongside the sports coaches in these sessions and develop their own skills which they can then in turn use back in school.  Pupils are encouraged to reflect on the world around them and consider important issues, for example in a recent lesson, pupils debated the situation in Syria.

school. At the start of the year Bristol City Council acknowledged the work of the school in closing the gap in attainment with other pupils and named Upper Horfield Primary in the top four within the city. In the 2014 tests the gap between this group and others in the school had been eradicated. Indeed, in writing, their attainment was four terms ahead, in reading three terms ahead and in mathematics two- and-a-half terms ahead of other pupils in Year 6. Compared with other pupils nationally the gap was about a half a term ahead in writing, half a term behind in reading and one-and-a-half terms behind in mathematics. School data and pupils’ books indicate that this positive trend of achievement continues.
