School Description

Staff at this school care deeply for the pupils. They are united in ensuring pupils get the best possible start in life. The school’s core values that ‘everyone will be the best that they can be, everyone has a voice and no-one is excluded’ shine through. Staff see beyond pupils’ disabilities. This raises pupils’ self-esteem and their belief that anything is possible. Many pupils enjoy school and what they learn in their lessons. Trips and visits make learning exciting. Pupils welcome experiencing new challenges, such as rock climbing and trampolining. Pupils especially enjoy the opportunity for residential visits, for example to South Africa. Staff ensure that the school is a calm and welcoming place for pupils. The school community is built on mutual trust and respect. Staff know individual pupils extremely well and have high expectations of them. They are able to support pupils and help them in regulating their anxious behaviours. This means pupils’ behaviour in lessons and around school is of a high standard. Pupils are confident that bullying is extremely rare and, if it happens, staff sort it quickly.
