Pupils have experienced a period of significant disruption at this school, which has had an impact on their learning and progress. Following recent improvements, most pupils enjoy coming to school. They particularly appreciate the caring and supportive culture that has been developed. Pupils appreciate that staff get to know each of them individually and understand their needs, interests and motivations. Although pupils are cared for, they do not learn as well as they should. Gaps in their learning have developed over time because the curriculum has not always been delivered systematically and coherently. Until recently, pupils’ learning has also been disrupted by frequent poor behaviour and a high turnover of staff. Pupils benefit from a range of enrichment activities, such as visits to local parks and cafes, which help them to develop their social skills and independence. Through personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education pupils develop their understanding of themselves, and they are encouraged to identify their strengths and interests. Pupils are taught to communicate their feelings and provided with choices about the support and education they receive. This helps them to feel a sense of connection and belonging to their school community.
