Pupils enjoy coming to school. They know that everyone here has their best interests at heart. Most pupils at the school have experienced many difficulties in their earlier education. The warm welcome that they receive here every day helps them to feel safe, secure, and ready to learn. Adults have high expectations for pupils’ achievement and for their behaviour. Pupils typically listen carefully and work hard. They know that they can ask for help if there is anything at all that they do not understand. Pupils experience success in lessons and achieve well from their different starting points. Pupils learn to manage their own behaviour well. They follow the rules and routines in school, for example by moving around the site sensibly. Adults respond swiftly to address any issue of bullying. Pupils also treat resources with care, such as books and tablet computers. Pupils’ rates of attendance show improvement over time. There are plenty of opportunities to support pupils’ wider personal development. For example, pupils learn about water safety when they visit the coastguard service. They work as part of a team when they participate in football matches with other schools. Pupils understand how to consider the needs of others when they contribute to local and national charitable work. These enrichment experiences help to prepare pupils for life beyond school.
