Preparing pupils for positive futures is at the heart of High Well School. Leaders ensure that staff have high expectations of all pupils. Pupils are taught well by dedicated and knowledgeable staff. They also benefit from the support of members of staff who help them learn to manage their behaviour. Pupils and staff get along well. All pupils who attend the school have special educational needs and/or disabilities and are supported with education, health and care (EHC) plans. Pupils learn an appropriate curriculum relevant to their needs. Staff have ambition for pupils. Books are an important part of school life. Pupils are taught effectively how to improve their reading. The ‘preparing for positive futures’ curriculum provides pupils with well-thought-out opportunities to learn about the world around them and how to keep safe. Most pupils who spoke to inspectors said that bullying is not an issue. If bullying were to happen, it is dealt with effectively by staff. Pupils also value having an adult in school who they can speak to if they have any concerns or are worried.
