We are thrilled to announce that our Wings Cumbria children’s homes have achieved a ‘Good’ grading in a recent Ofsted inspection, a testament to their commitment to each child's holistic development.
Wings School Cumbria children’s homes are nestled in the heart of Cumbria and are a safe haven for children between the ages of nine and 17 years. Their focus is on providing compassionate care and support to children with a wide range of emotional, social, and additional needs.
The team's relentless efforts to nurture each child's emotional well-being, support their academic progress, and help them build essential life skills were praised wholeheartedly.
Inspectors noted: “children are happy. They understand the expectations of the manager and staff and how they help them. Children say that the staff care about them and help them. Targets are achievable and support children to attend school, work towards goals and use their interests to support success.”
Ofsted could see that “since the last inspection, improvement has been made to the outdoor space. Children were consulted before the work was carried out and their views were acted on. They now enjoy an additional play area and a new multi-use football pitch.”
There is a real focus on personal and social development, with the inspectors seeing a real “buzz” of excitement in the home around family style Halloween celebrations. They noted, “Children enjoy a wealth of activities and experiences. As a result, they grow in confidence. During the summer holidays, all children had the opportunity to go on a holiday of their choice. Some chose to go abroad, while others preferred to go away in the UK. Children speak positively about their travels and are already making plans for next year.”
Conrad Potts, Registered Manager said, “We are delighted with the report which highlights the collaborative spirit shared by our staff, children, and the wider Wings School Cumbria community. Congratulations to the team.”
