The school empowers pupils. They learn to communicate with confidence and improve their movement with greater freedom. This is because pupils receive expert care and attention from highly skilled and kind staff. Pupils are safe here. Staff see unique potential in every pupil. They design learning experiences to help pupils realise their potential in creative and joyful ways, for example applying mathematical knowledge in cookery lessons. The school makes sure that pupils who can learn to read, no matter their age or stage, have all the opportunities possible to become confident readers. Pupils learn the language of kindness and politeness. Staff get to know pupils very well. Staff help pupils to use their own means of communication to experience friendship, take part in lessons and make decisions about what they would like to do next. Pupils go on frequent educational trips and learn from a range of visitors. The school recognises and facilitates older pupils’ ambitions for their future adult lives, for example volunteering at a nearby National Trust property, learning to drive or taking extra computing lessons. Along the way, older pupils can experience teenage life, such as going bowling or shopping with friends. The school makes sure that pupils learn how to keep themselves safe in a variety of situations.
