Pupil Voice

All pupils will know that there are adults in the school whom they can approach in confidence if they are in difficulty or feeling worried that their concerns will be taken seriously and treated with respect.  At Rodney House School we have the responsibility to ensure all pupils are able to communicate their thoughts, wishes and feelings; this is promoted through their own reports for meetings/through conversations and observation/social stories/therapeutic approaches/advocating on their behalf. 

In our Ofsted inspection of June 2023 Behaviour and Safety was judged as Outstanding.
