OFSTED 2024: Pendle Community High School & College, Nelson - Outstanding


Pendle Community High School & College has been rated as Outstanding by OFSTED in its latest inspection.

The community special school, which is located on the premises of Pendle Vale College on Oxford Road, Nelson, kept its Oustanding rating despite being oversubscribed with pupils numbering 162 with a capacity of just 136.

OFSTED visited the school on 20 March 2024 and was impressed with the school and the report states:

"The school is relentlessly ambitious for pupils and students, all of whom have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to challenge pupils and to celebrate each step of their learning, however small or large. The school’s expectations are extremely high. There are no limits. Pupils achieve exceptionally well."
