School Description

Many pupils have not had the best start to their education before joining the school. At Belong, they get another chance. Most embrace this fresh opportunity, thriving in the process. Leaders and staff build warm and trusting relationships with pupils. This is the linchpin of the school’s success. Staff invest time to get to know pupils’ individual needs. They plan a highly personalised curriculum that is relevant to pupils’ education, health and care (EHC) plans. Over time, this contributes to better attendance and engagement in learning. The school is a calm place in which to learn. Well-established morning routines in ‘the hub’ encourage pupils to get off to a positive start to the day. Staff manage pupils’ complex behaviours skilfully. Pupils say that they feel safe, including from bullying. Leaders seek creative ways to engage pupils in new experiences based on their talents and interests. These range from blacksmithing courses to landscaping and skiing trips abroad. Pupils particularly enjoy the boxing programme. It successfully develops their physical and mental well-being, confidence and positive decisionmaking. Parents and carers hold favourable views of the school. They typically commented on the ‘dedication of staff’ and how their children ‘love coming to school again’.
