School Description

This school knows its pupils well. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They value the strong relationships that they have with staff. This helps them to feel, and be, safe. Pupils speak positively and openly about their own strengths and qualities. The school proudly celebrates pupils’ achievements. It has high expectations of all pupils. The school ensures that staff meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a consequence, pupils achieve well. ‘Nurture Breakfast’ provides a positive start to the day in which pupils learn important social skills. They gain confidence in how to speak to, and interact with, other people. The school has established clear routines for pupils. These contribute to a calm and orderly environment. Classrooms are purposeful places for pupils to learn. Well-trained staff support pupils skilfully in class and around school. They help pupils to manage their emotions when they are worried about something. Pupils enjoy earning rewards for their behaviour or demonstrating positive attitudes to learning. Pupils benefit from a range of activities that help to prepare them for life beyond the school. Lunchtime clubs enable pupils to interact with each other positively. These support pupils to build their skills in communication and to try new activities in a supportive environment.
