At this calm and orderly school, staff identify and celebrate each pupil’s ‘superpowers’. Staff often use these strengths or interests in lessons. This makes learning more engaging and enjoyable. Pupils love to take part. This positive approach supports pupils’ well-being. At school and home, pupils complete a series of ‘PLEDGES’. These are ambitious and challenging goals that extend pupils’ knowledge and help them to develop new skills. Achieving these helps pupils achieve more. This fosters pupils’ pride. Staff have high expectations for pupils. Skilled teaching tailors each pupil’s development path to their individual needs. Through thoughtfully designed learning activities, pupils build their knowledge successfully. They also develop and practise multiple skills. For instance, pupils may complete a task to build their communication skills when learning phonics. As a result, pupils make exceptional progress from their starting points. Familiar routines provide comfort and help to build pupils’ self-confidence. They also help pupils understand the school’s expectations. Pupils behave well and learn to consider others. They develop skills such as turn-taking and active listening. They also develop close, trusting relationships with adults who know them very well. This means adults can intervene and provide support when needed. This ensures that pupils feel safe and secure.
