School Description

The Libra School enables pupils to thrive and succeed. Pupils begin school with less successful experiences in education. Soon, they can see the benefit the school has and how it improves their lives. Pupils are effusive about the staff that support them. One pupil, whose view reflects many, said, ‘Staff tailor the support to our needs, helping us learn.’ The school dogs also play a vital role in helping pupils to keep calm and develop care and responsibility. Pupils attend extremely well. Their behaviour is excellent, and they love coming to school. Pupils are safe and say that bullying does not occur. They often join the school with few successful strategies to manage their behaviour. This can result in physical or aggressive outbursts. However, this behaviour does not last long. Pupils develop successful strategies to cope when they find situations tricky. As a result, learning soon takes priority, and pupils excel. Leaders and staff have the highest expectations of pupils. They have developed an ambitious curriculum for pupils to learn. This helps pupils close gaps in their knowledge and broaden their future opportunities. Pupils feel success and strive to have more of it.
