School Description

Pupils join the school with significant gaps in their formal education and with wideranging, often complex, needs. Pupils’ social, emotional and mental health needs are supported well. However, pupils who are in the early stages of learning to read do not always get the precise support they need to help them to read more fluently. Pupils say that they feel safe in school. They build positive relationships with staff and trust them to sort things out if they have a problem. While many pupils improve their behaviour and attendance during their time in the school, some do not attend as regularly as they should. Some are not supported well enough to improve their behaviour because the school’s behaviour policy is not always applied consistently. Pupils make good use of the opportunities to take part in sports, including playing football and boxing. They enjoy practical subjects, such as food technology. This helps them to gain important life skills, for example how to budget for and to prepare nutritious meals. Pupils are supported effectively to take their next steps in education at the end of Year 11. Many go on to further studies, training and/or employment when they leave.
