School Description

Happy, trusting and caring relationships between staff and pupils are a hallmark of this inclusive school. Staff have high aspirations for pupils’ achievement and behaviour. By the time they leave Year 6, pupils are well prepared for their move to secondary school. They achieve well from their individual starting points. Staff understand each pupil’s special educational needs and/or disabilities well. They provide effective support to help pupils manage some of their complex emotions. As a result, pupils recognise what causes their anxiety and learn how to calm themselves successfully. They use a range of positive strategies such as taking sensory breaks and practising breathing exercises when they feel unsettled. If there are ever any problems with friendships or unkind behaviour, this gets sorted out very quickly. Pupils enjoy developing their interests in a number of activities, including dance, singing and craft clubs. They also benefit from a wide range of experiences, such as horse riding, swimming and outdoor learning. This helps pupils to develop their selfconfidence and self-esteem. Younger children speak enthusiastically about trips to the forest school and visits from the farm. Pupils revel in showcasing their sporting talents at the inter-school cricket tournament.
