Parents and carers appreciate the regular communication that they have with the staff. Parents know how the staff are supporting and caring for their children while they are at school. Pupils who attend the school have a wide range of severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties. Leaders and staff have very high expectations of all pupils. Staff are well trained to support pupils as they develop their communication skills. They help pupils to gain the knowledge and skills that they will need for their lives ahead. Pupils’ behaviour is excellent. Staff skilfully support pupils, recognising that pupils’ behaviour is a form of communication. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. If a pupil’s behaviour slips, staff use personalised strategies to remind them of what is expected and quickly bring them back on track. Staff care greatly for the pupils they work with. Bullying is very rare, but staff recognise that it can happen. Staff receive appropriate training to support pupils who are more at risk of being bullied.
