Pupils thrive at this school. They are exceptionally polite and well-mannered. The high quality of care that they receive supports them to overcome many of the barriers that have prevented them from succeeding in the past. Pupils are happy. They value the positive relationships that they enjoy with staff, who know them extremely well. The school has the highest aspirations for pupils’ achievements. Many of the pupils that attend this school have not been in education for an extended period of time. Pupils, all of whom have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well. Students in the sixth form benefit from a curriculum that is tailored skilfully to their individual needs. This allows them to flourish. Pupils take great pride in living up to the high expectations that the school has of their behaviour. This is evident in pupils’ respectful conduct throughout the school. Pupils make the most of an impressive programme of activities that help them to increase their confidence. Students in the sixth form make a tangible contribution to the life of the school. For example, they organise activities such as ‘Pride Sports Day.’ Pupils become independent young people who are exceedingly well prepared for adulthood.
