School Description

Arbour House provides a calm and nurturing environment for pupils to learn. Pupils are happy and safe. Staff know pupils and their families well. Many pupils arrive following poor experiences in education. The overwhelming majority of parents and carers appreciate the care and support the school provides for their children. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils develop trusting relationships with adults. Pastoral support is strong. Pupils receive individualised provision that includes preparing them for the next steps in their education. Staff support pupils to learn in a calm and purposeful environment. Pupils learn to manage their behaviour through clear routines and the positive relationships they have built with adults. Adults adapt readily to changes in pupils’ behaviour to ensure that learning is not disrupted. Staff promote a positive ethos of respect in the school. In turn, pupils value and respect others. Bullying is rare. Leaders ensure that pupils receive a curriculum that supports their personal development alongside their academic needs. This curriculum is responsive to the needs of the individual.
