School Description

Pupils are treated with kindness, dignity and respect at Carlton Digby School. Pupils benefit from the depth of knowledge that staff have about them as individuals. The positive learning environment enables pupils to feel happy and safe. The school helps pupils to find their place in the world. The school supports pupils to be as independent as they can be. Pupils are able to communicate well due to the support that they receive. Teachers ensure that the topics pupils study motivate them to learn. Pupils learn about the wider world. They benefit from a wide range of trips and visits, including a residential trip, for example. These opportunities help pupils to broaden their horizons. Pupils learn to take responsibility and help others when they can, including by joining the school council. Pupils can take part in a wide range of clubs, including walking football. Pupils treat each other kindly. They learn about how their feelings influence how they behave. Teachers quickly judge and step in when a pupil might need extra help with their behaviour. If pupils’ feelings overwhelm them, teachers skilfully help them to become calm again.
