School Description

This is a happy school where everyone matters, and every voice is heard. Pupils arrive at school with smiles on their faces. They are happy, safe and well looked after. Staff care deeply about pupils and make it their mission to get to know each of them. They take a keen interest in pupils’ likes and dislikes, and they learn what pupils need and when. The many different ways pupils communicate are understood and encouraged. Every moment of every day is focused on learning. Staff exploit every opportunity to teach pupils important life skills. The lead inspector particularly enjoyed visiting assembly. Staff and pupils sang a song with accompanying actions. This helped pupils to understand the importance of staying safe in the summer months by encouraging them to wear hats and sun cream. Pupils love to play at social times. They particularly enjoy riding bikes and scooters and using the playground equipment. The sensory trail is something many pupils enjoy. Pupils socialise and communicate with each other. Any form of unkindness is swiftly resolved by staff, who are on hand to help pupils understand what happened and give an apology.
