This school strives to give pupils a sense that they have a place in the world. For some pupils, this is truly transformative. The school’s welcoming environment and beautiful setting provide a positive space for pupils to re-engage in education. Relationships between pupils and staff are notably positive. In lessons, alongside the periodic use of well-judged humour, these relationships are mainly focused on learning. The school is ambitious for its pupils and pupils want to do well. At breaktimes, the atmosphere is more relaxed. Pupils and staff eat a freshly prepared hot meal together or play football outside. At all times, though, these relationships are characterised by mutual respect. Pupils are taught to listen, consider and accept others’ viewpoints. The school is usually calm. Pupils say that behaviour can sometimes be a bit ‘up and down’. However, they trust staff to sort it out. They say they would always talk to staff about any concerns. Pupils are allowed the time and space to regulate their emotions and behaviour when they need to. The gently swinging hammock is a helpful and popular spot to relax. Learning outdoors and going elsewhere for physical education or other fieldwork activities add richness to pupils’ experiences.
