Pupils are delighted to attend this exceptional school. They arrive cheerfully at school, met by staff who greet them warmly. Interactions between pupils and staff are genuinely caring and positive. Consequently, pupils love their time in school and behave extremely well. The school has extremely high expectations of what pupils can do. Staff are passionate about providing the very best education for pupils. From the youngest children in the early years to the oldest students in the sixth form, there is no restriction placed on what the school expects pupils to accomplish. Staff have a thorough understanding of pupils’ individual and complex needs. This, along with an ambitious curriculum, ensures that pupils, all of whom have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are extremely well prepared for their next steps. Pupils enjoy a wide range of opportunities that promote their wider development. For example, they enjoy enrichment activities that include horse riding, swimming, gymnastics and cooking. Pupils are keen to help others and support local charities. They are regular visitors out in their local community where they shop for ingredients for cookery sessions and use the local library.
