Pupils enjoy coming to this school. One parent told us, ‘My child waits by the front door in the morning because she wants to go!’ The dedicated staff have high expectations. They are determined that all pupils will ‘dream, believe and achieve’. Pupils behave very well and try their best. They like being rewarded with merit points. Pupils respect each other. Bullying is extremely rare. There are many adults to help pupils should they need extra support. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and positive. Staff know pupils and their families very well. Pupils benefit from the therapy on offer, such as the sensory hydrotherapy pool and physiotherapy. They respond positively to the many sensory experiences. Staff care for pupils’ complex medical needs well. Pupils enjoy various activities such as the weekly disco and trips. They recently performed with the Halle Orchestra, had a winter Olympics and played table cricket at Lord’s cricket ground. Some pupils like learning German. Pupils say that they feel safe. However, staff do not consistently follow the school’s safeguarding policies and procedures.
