School Description

Staff establish strong and caring relationships with their pupils, who are happy, secure and feel respected as a result. Sometimes, pupils find school hard. Staff understand this. They get to know pupils very well and make sure that they feel well supported and comfortable. The school’s family atmosphere makes a significant contribution to pupils’ growing selfesteem and to their sense of belonging. For instance, the dining hall is prepared with care to provide a warm and welcoming space for pupils to enjoy breakfast and lunch. Parents appreciate the care and support provided for their children. One commented: ‘Moving to this area and getting our son into this school was one of the best things we did.’ Pupils have individual plans to support their learning and development. Staff follow these plans carefully to ensure a consistent response throughout the school day. Wellestablished routines and clear expectations mean that pupils can feel confident about what each day will bring. Lessons are undisturbed by poor behaviour, and staff respond calmly and consistently when this is not the case. This view is shared by pupils. Adults are skilled in spotting the early signs that a pupil is struggling and act swiftly to avoid pupils’ frustrations from escalating.
