Some pupils value the opportunity that this school provides them with to have a second chance at their education. They appreciate the care that is given by some staff. This helps them to feel a sense of belonging. For some pupils, the school’s behaviour management systems have been transformational in helping them to improve their conduct. Some pupils increasingly develop a positive attitude to learning and begin to enjoy school. Nonetheless, some pupils are not supported as well as they should be to overcome the challenges of managing their behaviour. Consequently, some pupils continue to spoil the learning experiences of other pupils and do not engage in their own learning. The school is developing an ambitious curriculum that meets the social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs of pupils. Some aspects of this new curriculum help pupils to build resilience and prepare them well for life beyond school. However, pupils’ learning across the curriculum is uneven as, in some subjects, their needs are not met as well as they should be. The school is at the early stages of developing opportunities to promote pupils’ personal development. Some pupils enjoy the sporting activities that the school arranges for them. For instance, they enjoy using the gym and spending time on adventurous activities such as climbing.
