School Description

Pupils are safe and most feel happy. They like coming to school and seeing their friends. They say that staff are kind and will help them if they have any problems or concerns, such as bullying. Pupils enjoy their lessons. Most work hard to concentrate and learn. Pupils with the most complex needs learn very well. Other pupils are not learning as much as they could. This is because adults do not know precisely what they need to teach them. In some classes, there are not high-quality resources to help pupils learn. Older pupils in the school’s ‘Hive’ enjoy the new building where they have their lessons. They say it is a calm area where adults really help them to do their best. However, the outdoor area does not help pupils’ learning as well as it should. Most pupils behave well. Over time, though, a small core of pupils who continue to struggle with their behaviour are not as well supported. Pupils enjoy the trips and visits they go on. They like the activities linked to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. Most parents are very positive about the support their children receive. They are grateful to staff and leaders, who they feel work hard for their children.
