We are delighted to report that Treloar School Residential provision has maintained Ofsted’s ‘Outstanding’.
The Ofsted Inspectors arrived in the last week of term before Christmas. They were lucky enough to experience the full range of Christmas festivities. The inspector was highly impressed by the commitment and skill of all of the staff that she met. The students were fantastic advocates and were really positive about life at Treloar’s. The full report is available to read online, here’s an extract:
"Students thrive at this residential special school. It is a safe, vibrant and inclusive environment that promotes and enables everyone’s strengths and abilities. The celebration of individual uniqueness, strong planning and a culture of high aspirations mean that students and their families have life-changing experiences."
The report recognised the effectiveness of our multi-disciplinary teams who provide students with “collaborative and highly personalised support”. Students are encouraged to advocate for themselves.
"Students share their wishes and opinions on all aspects of their personal care routines, and staff support them with the utmost respect and dignity."
Julie Bodnar’s open and responsive leadership was singled out for praise in the report and the leadership team on Gloucester were viewed as very caring and professional.
"The residential manager is highly visible and has a dynamic vision for excellence. She leads by example and demonstrates an unquestionable commitment and passion to providing the highest possible standards of care for students."
Treloar’s Principal Martin Ingram is proud that the hard work and commitment of Treloar’s staff and students has been recognised again by Ofsted:
"The nature of the support that we provide and the criteria that OFSTED use may change, but the commitment and expertise of everyone at Treloar’s to be the very best that we can be, is as strong as ever."
