Welburn Hall School is a warm and caring school. All staff want the very best for the pupils who attend. As such, ambitions are high. Staff, both teaching and non-teaching, know their pupils well. Strong bonds have been forged between staff and pupils. Relationships are at the heart of the school. As a result, pupils feel safe in school and inspectors agree that they are safe. Bullying is not a problem at Welburn Hall. Staff are quick to spot when pupils might be falling out, or acting unkindly, and they step in to straighten things out. Behaviour overall is good. The school is an ordered community. At times, due to their special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), some pupils present very challenging behaviours. However, staff understand their pupils, and they act with care and skill to support pupils at these times. At Welburn Hall School, expectations are high. Leaders expect staff to do their jobs well, which they do. Governors expect leaders to fulfil their roles effectively, which they do. Staff expect pupils to achieve, which they do. Not least, this is because pupils are understood, treated and respected as individuals.
