School Description

The Harbour School is a place where pupils are well looked after. Adults take the time to understand pupils’ often complex prior experiences. Pupils access appropriate emotional and well-being support to help them get their lives back on track. If pupils have a bad day, staff kindly and sensitively deal with any tricky situation. Pupils feel that staff have their best interests at heart. Pupils access a raft of fun and engaging activities. Regular trips out build pupils’ confidence and support them to interact positively with others. The list of ‘99 things to do before you are 15¾’ is carefully tracked. All pupils, regardless of background, can do things that are different. For instance, they enjoy fish and chips at the beach or visit a museum. Pupils make friends and get on well with staff. Staff deal with issues, such as bullying, well. Staff help pupils to understand the importance of respecting others and themselves. The personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) curriculum teaches pupils well about important topics such as risk, county lines drug trafficking and consent. While the school is improving, there is more work to do to improve the curriculum so that pupils achieve their best.
