Pupils take immense pride in being part of this extremely harmonious and inclusive school community. They are happy and positive ambassadors of New Forest School. Pupils flourish socially, academically and emotionally due to the excellent standard of education and nurture that they receive. Leaders and staff have very high expectations. Adults take great care to help pupils form trusting relationships, after previous disrupted experiences of education. Pupils feel very safe. They are cared for by staff who know them well and understand their special educational needs and /or disabilities (SEND) fully. Pupils rarely fall out with each other, and incidents of bullying, prejudice or discrimination are unheard of. As one pupil said, ‘This school is the best thing that happened to me.’ Pupils love taking part in the wide range of exciting trips and experiences available. They enjoy attending the after-school clubs such as cinema, dungeons and dragons, and food technology. Pupils relish working on the school farm, where they look after animals, including chickens, alpacas, donkeys and geese. They also grow vegetables, which they cook into healthy meals. Older pupils make garden furniture, such as planters and picnic benches, which they donate to the local community.
