School Description

Most pupils attend the school for short periods of time. They then return to mainstream education. Staff care for pupils’ needs skilfully. They know pupils well and establish strong, trusting, relationships. Teachers have high expectations of all pupils. Pupils receive bespoke, individual education. Teachers expertly adapt the curriculum to meet pupils’ personal and academic needs. Pupils behave well because staff support them to manage their behaviour. Pupils told us that staff listen to them and take time to talk with them about any worries they have. Pupils take part in inspiring activities and experiences. Outdoor education is fundamental to the high-quality personal development the school provides. For example, pupils take part in camping expeditions. They experience activities such as trail biking, canoeing and rock climbing. Pupils enjoy trips and work experiences that prepare them well for life in modern Britain. They visit courts of law, art galleries and theatres. They work in businesses to help them make informed choices about their future careers. Pupils relish these chances. They say that the school helps them to live healthier, more active lives.
