Pupils flourish at this school. They receive an exceptionally high quality of support from the specialist staff that care for them superbly. Pupils benefit hugely from the trusting relationships that they enjoy with staff. This makes pupils feel happy in school. Staff have extremely high aspirations for the achievement of every pupil. They have an in-depth understanding of pupils’ special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The highly tailored curriculum that is in place for each pupil ensures that they achieve remarkably well. Pupils take pride in living up to the high expectations that the school has of their behaviour and conduct. During their period of transition in to the school, pupils benefit from a comprehensive programme of well-being support. This helps them to settle in quickly and to develop self-belief. Pupils learn to take responsibility for their own behaviour. They talk openly about how their conduct has improved since they started at the school. New pupils benefit significantly from the friendship, kindness and warm welcome that they receive from established pupils. Pupils enjoy a wealth of powerful experiences that appeal to their talents and interests. Visits to museums and to local places of interest help pupils to develop a deep understanding of the subjects that they study. Adventurous activities and leadership sessions provided by the emergency services help pupils to become confident and resilient young people. Pupils make a positive contribution to the community. They organise charity events and learn that it is important to care for others.
