School Description

Pupils feel safe and well cared for in this school. They enjoy the small class sizes and get the help that they need from the adults around them. The school has high expectations for pupils and this supports pupils to achieve well. They are happy and enjoy the practical lessons, including cookery, motorcycle mechanics and art and design. Pupils are proud of their achievements. Displays around the school are full of pupils’ creative and written work. A league trophy, recently won by the school football team, takes pride of place. Over time, pupils learn to manage their emotions and behaviour. Staff help them to find their own unique strategies, which pupils use in school to reduce any anxiety or negative emotions. Pupils trust the adults in school. They feel listened to and know that adults will intervene swiftly if any pupils fall out. The school promotes and celebrates positive behaviour. Pupils earn points, for example, when they show respect, kindness or selfdiscipline. They value these points and use them towards end of term trips or to buy a non-uniform day.
