A SILVERDALE school has been graded outstanding in all areas following a recent Ofsted visit.

Bleasdale School offers specialist day and residential provision for pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties.

Pupils were found to be making ‘exceptional progress given their very low starting points’ and teachers judged ‘extremely skilled at engaging and enthusing pupils’.

Head teacher Kairen Dexter said: “I am so proud of all the staff and pupils. It is great that Ofsted recognise the fantastic work that goes on at Bleasdale School.”
