School Description

Pupils are delighted to come to this school where they feel safe and valued. They thoroughly enjoy the calm atmosphere of the small, welcoming classrooms. Pupils are extremely well cared for. Staff value the uniqueness of every person in school, whether they are pupils, other members of staff or leaders. Adults are highly trained and know exactly how to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils say that incidents of bullying are extremely rare. Staff sort things out if this occurs. Pupils are taught excellent manners and behave exceptionally well. The mutual respect between pupils and staff shines through. Pupils thrive during the frequent opportunities to widen their horizons with new experiences in different places. Staff have extremely high aspirations for pupils. They help them to reach their potential. Pupils can relax, exercise and learn in the outdoor area around the school buildings. The gardening area is well used for growing plants and vegetables that are cooked by pupils and staff. An enormous pumpkin, grown in this garden recently, provided both delicious cake and soup. Art lessons are highly popular. Pupils have produced a wealth of exciting paintings, drawings and sculptures.
