Pupils achieve exceptionally well in all that they do at The Libra School. Pupils have complex needs related to social, emotional and mental health (SEMH). Many arrive having had negative and unsuccessful experiences of education elsewhere. Staff quickly get to know pupils. They take time to build excellent relationships with pupils to help them to flourish. Staff use their high levels of expertise to understand and support pupils’ needs. As a result, pupils’ behaviour improves dramatically alongside developing an enjoyment in their learning. The school is calm and orderly because of the clear routines in place that pupils follow well. Pupils learn about positive relationships through the curriculum. As a result, they have no concerns about bullying. Pupils feel safe and know that the attentive adults will help them if they have any worries. Staff have extremely high expectations of what pupils can achieve. The school has designed a broad and ambitious curriculum to help pupils gain success and be wellprepared for their next stage. Pupils rise to these expectations. They are proud of what they achieve and the difference the school has made to their lives. Parents share this view and they are highly complimentary about the school’s work.
