Pupils experience high-quality care and support. Staff build strong relationships with pupils and families. For example, during lunchtimes pupils and staff sit together and enjoy home-cooked food. Staff model effective communication at social times. This helps pupils to interact with each other. All pupils have previously had negative experiences of school. In contrast, pupils settle quickly here. Parents and carers are very positive about every aspect of school life and how it is developing their children personally and emotionally. Pupils value the school. They talk openly about the difference that attending is making. Pupils’ conduct is usually good. Pupils are becoming much more self-aware. They are developing self-management skills and some resilience. All pupils work one-to-one with adults. This helps pupils feel safe and ready to learn. Pupils like exploring big questions in sequences of work. This helps them build knowledge over time. However, staff’s expectations of what pupils can achieve academically are not high enough. Pupils experience a range of activities to broaden their horizons. For example, pupils enjoy going to the beach, mountain biking and doing bike maintenance. There is a strong focus on equality. If bullying happens, staff sort it out.
