Ofsted also confirmed that all safeguarding standards are met.
Under Ofsted’s current framework:
Exceptional is the highest judgement available under Ofsted’s new framework and recognises practice that is exemplary and significantly exceeds expected standards.
Strong Standard indicates that leaders and staff are working above the level expected nationally and delivering high-quality outcomes for pupils.
This inspection represents the sixth consecutive occasion that Jigsaw CABAS School has been recognised at a high level. It follows five previous inspections in which the School achieved Ofsted’s former highest judgement of Outstanding.
