Staff care greatly about the pupils at this school. They want pupils to get the most from their education. This creates a positive atmosphere. Pupils enjoy coming to school because staff work hard to develop pupils’ sense of worth. One parent told us, ‘Pupils feel included and accepted, no matter how they are feeling.’ This view was shared by other parents and carers we spoke to. In classrooms, pupils behave well. Staff understand pupils’ social and emotional needs. When pupils feel anxious, staff help them to manage their emotions and focus on their work. Pupils value this help. Parents, too, appreciate the specialist support the school offers their children. However, leaders and staff do not have high enough expectations for pupils’ achievement. Across a range of subjects, teaching does not enable pupils to develop important knowledge. Pupils are capable of more. Primary-aged and secondary-aged pupils have recently moved to a new shared site. Some pupils have found this unsettling, particularly younger pupils. In response, leaders have made changes to how pupils use the building. These changes have helped to reassure pupils and keep them safe. Staff do not accept bullying. If it happens, they do everything they can to stop it.
