Pupils are very happy in this small school. Pupils arrive in the school at a variety of different starting points and from a wide range of other settings, including from overseas. Leaders and teachers work hard to meet these pupils’ very different needs. They make sure that pupils feel welcome, cared for and are safe. Pupils follow a curriculum that is matched to their interests. As well as studying a core curriculum that includes English, mathematics and science, pupils choose from a range of very well-resourced vocational subjects. Pupils enjoy working in small class sizes. They benefit from using professional equipment, such green screen technology in the creative design studio. This helps them to prepare for the world of work and further training. Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes to learning are positive. Pupils show respect for each other and their teachers. Leaders, teachers and pupils have created a sense of community. This is exemplified by participation in the weekly lunchtime karaoke session in the school dining area, sports clubs and the positive interactions between staff and pupils.
