Pupils’ complex needs are better taken account of now than has been the case, but there is still more work to do. Staff encourage pupils to communicate and to engage with their learning. They help pupils to convey their feelings through visual images and gestures. Teachers provide a range of fun activities. They give pupils choices so that they are more willing to be involved in their learning. Pupils learn how to treat each other with respect and to be kind.

They learn about relationships, living in the wider world and health and wellbeing. Pupils visit local shops and cafes. They pay for their purchases. Each week pupils visit a care farm. They learn how to look after animals and to grow plants. Pupils enjoy taking part in activities in the tuition centre and the care home. These include arts and crafts, baking and playing with puzzles.
