Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming countryside school. They have time to settle in and gradually engage more with their education. Due to the support they receive, over time pupils attend school more than they did at their previous setting. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive. Pupils know staff will look after them and keep them safe. Staff help pupils to manage their emotions. They are very effective at recognising when pupils are becoming distressed. On such occasions, staff provide options to support pupils, such as visiting Mandy and Jayne, the therapy chickens. This helps pupils to stay calm. Most pupils engage well with their learning. Lessons are sometimes disrupted, but staff respond quickly to restore a calm atmosphere. Records show that bullying rarely happens. Most pupils are certain that if bullying did happen, staff would deal with it quickly and effectively. Pupils say they feel safe. Leaders have an ambitious vision to prepare pupils for their future. They regularly consider how they can improve the provision. The recent changes to the curriculum are having a positive impact on pupils’ learning. The improvements leaders have made to the personal development curriculum mean pupils are now better prepared for life in modern Britain.
