School Description

Although many pupils have missed a lot of schooling by the time they arrive at Cambian Devon School, they adapt quickly and thrive. Most pupils have social, emotional and mental health difficulties but they learn to manage their behaviour well. The school prioritises the learning and pastoral needs of each pupil. Through the curriculum, pupils learn to form strong relationships with staff and each other. The carefully balanced combination of educational and therapeutic support enables pupils to develop empathy, respect and kindness. Consequently, pupils learn in a calm environment. Pupils relish the opportunities to learn bushcraft skills. They learn to grow and cook their own food both in the kitchen and in the wild using campfires. They develop strong navigational skills through hiking along the coast path. Pupils learn to value the natural world. Through the very well-designed curriculum, pupils’ personal development is impressive. Pupils learn about the importance of democracy, inclusion and free speech. They have bespoke opportunities to develop their knowledge of the world through volunteering. For example, pupils volunteer on the steam railway and in charity shops. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared to be citizens in modern Britain.
