SPRINGFIELD School, which provides education for pupils with severe and profound learning difficulties has been rated ‘good’ by Government inspectors.

Ofsted inspectors said the Cedar Drive school’s impact on pupils’ personal development was excellent, and that Springfield pupils integrated in a “seamless manner” with mainstream pupils at neighbouring Madley Brook School.

Inspectors said pupils made good progress, enjoyed being in school, and Springfield was well led by newly appointed headteacher Emma Lawley.
