This is a very special school that pupils are happy to attend, and where it is safe to be yourself. Expectations are extremely high. Leaders’ unrelenting ambition for pupils starts from the moment they join the school. Leaders offer an impressive range of opportunities for pupils’ personal, social and life skill development. This includes horticulture, cookery, childcare, animal care, and even learning to drive. Pupils are excited about learning because lessons are fun and enticing. As one pupil put it, this school is an ‘adventure’. Pupils behave exceptionally well. This is because staff are highly attuned to the feelings and anxieties of pupils, and are successful at minimising them. Staff skilfully help pupils in learning how to regulate their behaviour and manage their emotions. Staff told inspectors that if they need help, leaders are always on hand. Bullying is extremely rare. If it should happen, pupils know that adults will deal with any issues immediately and sensitively. Pupils pride themselves on being part of such an inclusive school. Parents and carers are also overwhelmingly positive about the school. More than one parent said the school has been ‘transformative’ for their child.
