This school changes many pupils’ lives and gives them and their families renewed hope. Pupils often arrive with complex needs after a much-disrupted education. Caring staff seek to rebuild and nurture pupils to believe they belong and are safe. The expectations for all have risen as a result of the school’s ongoing, impressive work. Clear rules and structures guide pupils in how to behave, interact appropriately and regulate their behaviour and emotions. The trust’s therapy team positively complements pupils’ restart in education by supporting good mental health and well-being. This in turn enables pupils to access their academic education. Each morning, staff greet pupils with a smile, and each class has breakfast together. During this time, pupils share their feelings, learn to play games together positively and take on classroom responsibilities. This settles pupils so they are ready for their education. The school is ambitious for pupils to learn a wide range of subjects. The school’s enrichment offer develops pupils’ character. Pupils enjoy choosing activities, such as sport, cooking and art, to develop their talents and interests. The school actively promotes pupils’ personal development and experiences of the wider world. Pupils love the school trips and celebration assemblies, where they share each other’s learning successes.
