School Description

Pupils really like coming to school. Staff know all pupils very well. They make sure that what pupils learn is meaningful and enjoyable. Pupils are keen to learn. They are kept safe in school and trust staff to help them with any problems that they may have. Pupils get on well with each other. They share equipment sensibly. Pupils said that bullying is not an issue here. Leaders keep appropriate records of any issues that arise and deal with them promptly. Staff are committed to making sure that everything that happens in school takes into account pupils’ future lives and their transition to adulthood. Pupils are taught a broad range of subjects and they achieve well. Staff are well trained and know how to support each pupil’s social and communication needs. Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and pupils rise to these. Pupils respond well to the praise and rewards they receive for meeting leaders’ expectations. Pupils try hard to be kind and supportive of one another. They are enthusiastic about taking on responsibility, for example in helping to run the tuck shop. When pupils become upset or anxious, staff know exactly how to help them to stay calm and return to their learning.
