Pupils at Brook View School are greeted each day by nurturing staff. They feel cared for, and their interactions with adults show that they feel safe. Pupils settle in quickly when they start at the school. The highly positive relationships that they enjoy with staff help to reinforce positive behaviours. Pupils are supported well to ensure they are calm and ready to learn. Pupils show early signs of being able to manage their own feelings better. Pupils explore their surroundings and engage well in their education. There is a strong focus on ensuring that they can successfully communicate and express their feelings, choices and preferences. Over time, pupils build their knowledge and skills to achieve the high ambitions that the school has set out for their learning. Pupils benefit from a range of trips and visitors that help to develop their understanding of the role of others in the community, such as through visiting a local fire station. This helps pupils understand the communities they live in. The school has also introduced a package of ‘things to do before you leave’ to broaden pupils’ experiences. These include creating a mosaic and learning to cook outdoors.
