School Description

Pupils flourish at Bamburgh School. Staff develop strong, caring professional relationships with pupils. Pupils rise to the high expectations that adults have for them. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Many expressed their appreciation when praising the school and staff. As one parent commented, ‘I can’t recommend it enough. They have supported my child in every area possible.’ Pupil’s behaviour is exemplary. They move around school calmly and with great respect. Inspectors saw consistently positive interaction between pupils in all areas of the school. Pupils understand that they are all individuals and support one another. It was evident throughout the inspection that pupils’ safety is a high priority for all adults in the school. Pupils feel safe in school. They trust the adults who work with them. Pupils feel that they can always go to an adult if they need support with any concerns. Pupils are aware of the exceptionally high expectations for their behaviour and they meet these. They say that staff will deal with any rare occasions of poor behaviour promptly. Some pupils talked about how the staff in school have helped them to manage and regulate their own behaviour more effectively. Pupils say that bullying does not happen, but if it ever did, they are confident that staff would act to stop it. All pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The adults are highly skilled at adapting the curriculum to meet the individual needs of these pupils.
