School Context Portfield School is an all-age (3 to 19) local authority maintained Special School serving the needs of 151 pupils presenting with a wide range of learning needs. These
encompass, severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning needs along with complex needs including autistic spectrum condition (ASC), associated behavioural
issues, sensory impairment and speech and language disorders.
A new upper school building was opened in September 2009, with a Welsh medium satellite centre ‘Y Porth’ opening in October 2010 in Ysgol Preseli and a further satellite
opening in 2012 in Tasker Milward Comprehensive School. In September 2014, a second classroom was opened in Tasker Milward.
Portfield School staff and pupils benefit from close links with a range of primary and secondary schools including Tasker Milward Secondary School, Ysgol Preseli and Fenton
Primary School. Close links have been established between Portfield School, our pupils and their families who can access support within the school from our Parent and
Community Partnership Worker, alongside input from a number of other agencies including health, social services and the specialist support services if necessary.
Portfield School offers a wide range of accreditation opportunities to all students. Accreditations include OCR Communication, Numeracy and ICT units as well as ASDAN
Towards Independence modules and ASDAN Personal Progress. Portfield pupils have the opportunity to participate in Forest Schools, John Muir Award as well as Duke of
Edinburgh Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. There are also opportunities to experience taster courses at Pembrokeshire College and Coleg Sir Gar.
The Enterprise activities flourish across the school throughout the year e.g. older students run a daily Portfield Fair-trade Tuck Shop and all classes participate in providing
products for Summer Enterprise Market in Haverfordwest.

1 pupil did not make expected progress across most areas of maths; this is the same pupil as in English and will be targeted for support. Pupils with PMLD are plateauing particularly at end of KS2 and KS3 and above, and P levels do not measure the small step progress these pupils make. The small numbers of pupils involved mean that the impact of one pupil can cause a major change in figures, it is therefore difficult to use this information in a meaningful way. All pupils who made adequate progress during the year and therefore may not have achieved their targets are identified and will receive extra support throughout the year. Pupils with complex needs are plateauing particularly at KS3 and above, progress in some cases has slowed down and P levels do not measure the small step progress these pupils make. School is reviewing this aspect of assessment. Number – 93% of pupils made predicted progress. Shape, Space and measure – 93% of pupils made predicted progress. Using and applying – 93% of pupils made predicted progress. Three pupils did not make expected progress in Science, Life Processes and Materials etc. 1 pupil has PMLD and progress is measured on Routes for learning as he is generalising skills rather than continuing to progress vertically through skills. The other 2 made progress but didn’t quite achieve their targets, and these pupils will receive extra support during Science sessions.
