School Description

Pupils value the second chance and the safe, nurturing environment that Active Support offers. Over time, they build their confidence, begin to manage their own behaviour and re-engage in learning, often after long periods away from formal education. Pupils trust staff because they know they want the best for them. For many pupils, this is their first successful school experience in a long time. Positive relationships are promoted well in an atmosphere of mutual respect. New pupils are supported to settle in quickly. Pupils say they feel safe in school and learn how to keep safe in different situations Bullying is rare. If it happens, pupils are confident that staff will manage it well. Pupils appreciate their school’s inclusive culture and know that derogatory language and discrimination are not tolerated. While most pupils improve their attendance and arrive on time, some do not attend as regularly as they should or are late to lessons at the start of the day. Pupils are prepared well to take the next steps in education. As a result, after a period of short-term support, some are ready to go back into their mainstream school. By the end of Year 11, almost all pupils move on to college courses, employment and/or training.
