Pupils flourish at this nurturing school where, as one parent summed up, ‘every child is seen and heard’. Staff take the time to understand pupils’ needs and interests so they can support them to engage well in lessons. Pupils are resilient, they learn to manage their emotions and successfully reflect on their behaviour and learning. Pupils’ behaviour is impeccable. Clear routines and a consistently friendly approach from staff help pupils to feel safe and secure in the school environment. Pupils are kind towards one another, for instance, older pupils helping the younger ones with the climbing equipment. Many pupils learn to socialise for the first time. They enjoy cooking and sitting down at lunch together. They cope extraordinarily well with new situations. This is because staff carefully consider the steps they need to take for this to happen. Pupils’ and sixth form students’ outcomes are strong. They receive a well-rounded education which prepares them very well for adulthood. Pupils develop into independent and confident individuals. They are not fazed by such experiences as appearing on television for their high-quality artwork or travelling to the O2 to be part of the Young Voices choir.
