School Description

Pupils are keen to get to school each day. Leaders ensure that pupils have access to high-quality experiences. Staff understand pupils well so that they can meet their individual needs. They are kind and caring and have high expectations. They encourage pupils to lead a happy and independent life. The school is a calm and orderly environment. Staff manage pupils’ behaviour exceptionally well. Parents and carers appreciated the rewards their children achieved for good work and behaviour. Staff work closely with parents, such as sharing pupils’ ‘wow’ moments with them. Bullying is not tolerated here, and staff are vigilant. If pupils have any concerns, they are confident to communicate these to any adult, who will deal with them seriously. Leaders provide pupils with excellent resources to help them to develop. For example, pupils enjoyed using the food technology space to develop their cooking skills. Older pupils access the school’s gym and take part in sporting activities such as football and basketball. Leaders increase pupils’ opportunities to explore the local area. For example, some pupils go horse riding, while others use a local swimming pool. Pupils go on forest walks and have regular visits to the local area.
