Pupils have often experienced trauma and disruption in their lives before they start their education at Maple House School. They benefit from the nurturing and stable environment that leaders provide. Pupils develop strong and trusting relationships with adults in school. Staff use a consistent and calm approach that pupils respond to. Gradually, pupils develop their confidence and self-belief. They enjoy learning again. Pupils feel happy, settled and safe in school. Pupils learn to work well together. They discover how to respect and listen to different views. Staff support pupils to manage their emotions and behaviour. When pupils fall out, staff help them to resolve their problems, forgive and reflect on their actions. Pupils are confident that leaders would take appropriate action to deal with any incidents of bullying. Until recently, the curriculum was not ambitious enough to enable pupils to reach their potential. New leaders have set high expectations. They have taken steps to improve the curriculum to ensure that all pupils can achieve well. A range of therapeutic support is available for pupils to allow them to heal and move on in their lives. Pupils enjoy a range of interesting and fun activities, including trampolining, team games and cooking.
