Springhallow School

Springhallow School is recognized for its overall good performance, showcasing exceptional behaviour and attitudes among its pupils. The school has created a nurturing environment where students feel happy, safe, and supported. With a well-planned curriculum that meets the diverse needs of pupils, the school excels in developing their character and communication skills, and the sixth form has been particularly noted for its tailored programs that facilitate student success and transition into adulthood. However, there are moments where the school's approach to building on prior learning can be improved to enhance what pupils remember over time.

• Staff have strong subject knowledge and adapt learning to meet diverse needs.

Areas for Improvement

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

In 2025–26 Springhallow School had 169 pupils, 100.0% of them with an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 99.5%).
