Pupils thrive on the strong relationships that they form with staff. Prior to joining the school, many pupils have experienced significant disruption to their education. Staff’s high expectations help pupils to settle into school life swiftly and achieve well. Pupils enthuse about the rich opportunities the curriculum offers. They are particularly excited about forest school, where they learn bushcraft, woodwork and cooking skills. Pupils relish activities where they get to work with their peers and improve their social skills. Leaders deal with any bullying well and make sure that pupils appreciate the importance of forming positive relationships with others. Pupils know that there are adults that they can go to if they have problems or worries. Pupils understand the school’s rules and they behave well. Those whose behaviour is not as positive as their peers are supported by staff to reflect on their actions. This helps pupils to improve their behaviour over time. Pupils embrace positions of responsibility. For example, they are eager to become student ambassadors and lunchtime monitors. Pupils feel that they have a say in the way the school is run. For example, they were consulted about the design of the outdoor facilities at the primary school site.
