Pupils really enjoy coming to school. They appreciate that staff care about them, listen to them and provide them with a lot of support. Pupils get on very well together and with staff. They enjoy each other’s company. Pupils told us that there is no bullying in school. They know staff will help them if they have a concern. Most pupils behave extremely well in this nurturing and inclusive atmosphere. The natural environment around each school site helps pupils’ learning and development. They feel safe outdoors, where they can take time out to reflect and be calm. Pupils enjoy being responsible for an array of animals, including Gerty and Greta, the pygmy goats. Taking care of these, and local farm animals, supports pupils’ therapy and aids their social and emotional development. Parents and carers are positive about the school. A typical comment was, ‘This school truly understands my child’s difficulties and adapts their approach accordingly.’ Staff help pupils to understand and accept their diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Carefully planned learning gives pupils the resilience to overcome barriers to learning. They leave school with qualifications that prepare them well for the next stage.
