Relationships and care lie at the heart of this school. Leaders and staff are determined to overcome any barriers to ensure that their pupils lead happy and successful lives. They strive to make the school a place ‘where every child shines’. As the result of all the school’s work pupil’s outcomes are improving further. From the moment pupils start school staff work tirelessly with families to ensure the right support is in place for their child. One parent’s views reflected others, saying ’I do not know what I would do without this school’. Pupils are happy and content. Staff treat pupils with kindness and know each pupil extremely well. Pupils are very well supported. Consequently, they are often calm, settled and excited by learning. However, some of the school’s agreed strategies to develop pupils’ communication skills are not always consistently implemented by staff. Pupils benefit from an array of opportunities which enhance their life experiences. These include judo, rebound therapy and visits from inspirational community members. Pupils are given many opportunities to take on jobs such as making deliveries around school. They have a real presence in the local area. These experiences empower a sense of responsibility and community engagement.
