Staff make sure that pupils feel welcomed and valued in this school. The pupils we spoke with told us that they like the small size of the school. They feel that staff look after them and keep them safe. This helps pupils to have confidence and trust staff. Pupils and staff told us that the school is like a family. Pupils know and accept each other. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils know that they are expected to behave well and attend regularly. They usually do. The classes are very small. This means that pupils get a lot of attention and encouragement from their teachers. It also lets teachers make sure that the curriculum they are teaching is adjusted to help each pupil. There are two classes. One is for pupils in Years 7 and 8, and the other is for older pupils. Pupils told us that there is no bullying in the school. However, they said that there is sometimes ‘banter’ between pupils. Sometimes, this is not thoughtful or kind. The school has a clear system to help pupils understand when their behaviour is not good enough. It is still quite early in the school’s life, but it has already helped pupils who have had poor experiences in their schools in the past to start to want to join in education.
