White Trees School provides pupils with a safe and nurturing environment. This is important. Many pupils have often had negative experiences of school. Staff work patiently to build positive and trusting relationships. They listen to their concerns and take time to help pupils get ready for their learning. Pupils respond to this well. They appreciate the encouragement and support they receive from staff. It helps to build their self-esteem and reignite their interest in education. Pupils arrive each morning and are welcomed by adults. This provides a calm start to the day. There are times when pupils have greater difficulties at settling into school. Staff know how to turn this around. They use their knowledge of each pupil to help them to manage their behaviours. Staff never give up on any pupil and have high expectations of all. This means over time pupils' behaviour improves and their sense of self-worth increases. Pupils take part in different outdoor activities. Many activities are new for pupils and help to broaden their horizons of what they can achieve. Adventurous sports such as paddle boarding and kayaking develops pupils' resilience. Looking after animals helps them to better understand about care and responsibility.
