Pupils’ life chances are significantly improved by this school. All pupils have had a very disrupted education prior to arriving here. However, due to staff’s high-quality care and expert knowledge, pupils soon re-engage with learning and attend regularly. Pupils’ self-esteem and resilience also improves exceptionally well. This transformation in a short period of time is remarkable. All pupils achieve well from their starting points. They are successfully prepared for the next stage of their education or employment. The school leaves no stone unturned to support its pupils. Pupils value the tailored pastoral care, which precisely meets their needs. Pupils who have previously been socially isolated form friendships, learn to manage their emotions independently and re-gain trust in adults. The school is, therefore, a calm, safe and positive place to learn. Pupils thrive in situations they would have historically found difficult to cope with. This includes navigating busy environments, such as tube trains and theatres. They learn to cooperate with peers in team activities, such as sailing and climbing. Pupils volunteer in the community, for example, at a dementia café. Pupils are incredibly positive about their experiences here. They are motivated to succeed and have hope for their future.
