This is a small school where everything is very calm. Pupils enjoy the peace and quiet. They know that all the staff care for them and want them to succeed. Pupils say: ‘We are listened to here. People really understand us.’ Pupils at this school have not been able to work well in other settings and have missed a lot of their education. At this school they can finally settle down to studying. Pupils’ behaviour does not disrupt lessons because they know what is expected of them and are well supported to meet these expectations. Bullying is extremely rare and pupils say that staff would not tolerate it. During breaktimes, pupils enjoy chatting with staff or each other. They often play football or table tennis. Pupils are kept safe and they feel safe. Teachers give pupils plenty of opportunities to discuss things and to say what they think. The school council has already made changes the pupils wanted. They are now able to earn vouchers for good behaviour. Their teachers encourage them to vote so that they make decisions democratically. Pupils say that the best thing about the school is the staff: ‘If we tell any of them about our concerns, they will help us.’
