School Description

Rowhill really is a special school in so many ways. Pupils appreciate the care and support that staff provide. Pupils like that this is a school with a big heart and, ‘lots of space, when we need it’. Smiles and good humour go a long way here, especially at the start of the school day as pupils are greeted by friends and staff in the ‘drum’. Older pupils appreciate the breadth of the curriculum choices they have, including the vocational opportunities on offer. They also feel that staff work hard and prepare them well for their next steps in education and for life beyond the school gates. When asked, younger pupils found it difficult to describe what could be better with their school, agreeing with each other that, ‘mostly, it’s really good’. Pupils’ behaviour is not perfect at Rowhill. However, staff have high expectations and are expert at managing situations when pupils’ frustrations come to the fore. Because of this, heightened emotions are mostly calmed well before they impact negatively on learning or on pupils’ relationships with their peers. Pupils shared that they do sometimes have friendship problems, but that ‘miss’ or ‘sir’ sort these out.
