Pupils feel lucky to belong to the Green Room community. For many, this is the first school where they have experienced any success. Typically, pupils join the school at a time of crisis. High-quality support enables them to recover emotionally and to regulate their behaviour. As pupils grow in confidence, staff push the boundaries of what they can learn. This enables pupils to achieve exceptionally well. The school is a happy and uplifting environment. New pupils quickly feel accepted and safe, so they can begin to enjoy and value learning. Kindness, patience and understanding restore their self-worth. What once seemed impossible becomes a reality, as pupils regain hope and can see a pathway to a brighter future. One parent summed this up, commenting that the school has been a ‘lifeline’ for her son. The school’s rural farm setting opens up rich opportunities afforded by the expansive outdoor spaces. Pupils learn subjects such as equine studies, animal care and horticulture. Through helping to look after the school’s much-loved animals, they develop their skills of caring, understanding the responsibility that this entails. Pupils uncover hidden talents, develop new interests and can see how their learning relates to the world of work.
