They come together to celebrate their achievements and learn about fundamental British values. All pupils have an education, health and care (EHC) plan. Each pupil’s curriculum is tailored to their individual needs. Yet, not all staff teach pupils consistently well. Some pupils do not achieve as highly as they should. Staff support pupils to manage their behaviour. Pupils develop strategies to help them to understand and manage their behaviour. They learn what to do if they experience bullying. Leaders make sure that pupils always have an adult to go to if they are worried. Pupils enjoy work experience opportunities.
