Amberleigh Therapeutic School is demonstrating good overall effectiveness, with outstanding performance in behaviour, attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The nurturing environment allows pupils, who often face significant social and emotional challenges, to thrive and establish positive relationships. Equally, the school provides a well-planned curriculum that supports academic and therapeutic growth, reflecting leaders' high expectations for pupil achievement. However, some areas require improvement, particularly in curriculum clarity and assessment practices, to ensure that all pupils can reach their full potential.
