Staff have high expectations of all pupils and, as a result, pupils achieve extremely well. Leaders expect pupils to behave exceptionally well. Therapeutic provision is integral to the work of the academy. This gives pupils the strategies to manage their anxious behaviours superbly well. Pupils are happy. They enjoy warm and trusting relationships with staff, and at times of heightened anxiety, pupils know that staff will support them. This helps them to feel safe. Pupils relish the range of wider opportunities afforded to them. These help to develop skills and interests in areas, such as art, music and technology. All pupils have access to these activities. Pupils develop high levels of independence, which makes them well prepared for the future.
