Pupils are happy and feel safe. Adults know every pupil well. They know their individual stories and adapt what they do to meet individual needs. Consequently, the attendance and behaviour of pupils improve dramatically. Pupils are polite, friendly and respectful to each other and to the adults they encounter. Staff use appropriate de-escalation techniques to manage behaviour so that pupils can quickly return to learning. The learning environment is calm and supportive. Routines are quickly embedded to ensure that pupils gain confidence in their abilities. This reduces anxieties while also keeping pupils safe. Pupils take an active role in supporting good behaviour across the school. For example, they consider accessibility issues and are involved in staff recruitment. Following the outcome of the government’s review of sexual abuse and harassment, pupils have discussed issues of safety and speaking out. Leaders plan the curriculum around pupils’ interests to give them the opportunity to succeed. There are few barriers to what pupils can take part in and learn about.
