Pupils achieve well at school. They join having previously experienced disruption to their education. Pupils value how staff take the time to get to know them as an individual. Staff provide the support pupils need to turn their attitudes to learning around. Staff skilfully help pupils to manage their feelings and emotions. Approaches to behaviour are underpinned by strong relationships. This all starts in the morning, where pupils are greeted warmly by staff before settling into breakfast and a chat with their key worker. This sets pupils up well for the day ahead. Pupils are motivated to learn. They work hard and show resilience. This helps them to achieve the high expectations that staff have of them. Pupils value the new and exciting opportunities the school offers them. Prefects and older pupils are proud to be positive role models. The curriculum is well supported by an ever-expanding range of enrichment activities. Pupils love attending these in school and when learning off site. Whether studying car mechanics, taking part in parkour, or learning how to ski, pupils are inspired to learn new skills. These experiences also help to spark interests in pupils for life after Cambian Great Dunmow.
