Pupils experience nothing but the best at this happy, caring school. Many join the school with significant and challenging barriers to their learning. Some pupils face a long and difficult journey towards improvement in their health. Nonetheless, this very special school ensures that whatever their difficulties, pupils feel safe, secure, and ready to learn. Expectations for pupils’ achievement are extremely high. Pupils look forward to their daily lessons, whether at their bedside or in the classroom. They focus well on their work and are rarely distracted. They know that they can ask for help if there is anything that they do not understand. Pupils achieve very well and are more than ready for the return to their usual school when they leave hospital. Pupils’ behaviour is excellent. They seldom need to be reminded of the school rules. Pupils develop positive attitudes to learning. This helps them to participate even when they do not feel at their best. The school’s provision for pupils’ wider development is simply exceptional. Confinement to hospital is seen as no barrier to pupils’ ability to participate. For example, pupils take part in performances and assemblies using remote technology. They enjoy having their art work displayed in local department stores. Pupils particularly enjoy caring for the school’s small menagerie of animals. These experiences help pupils to develop interests and talents and to prepare for future life.
