School Description

Pupils thrive at this inspirational school. There is restless ambition from everyone to ensure that pupils’ needs are catered for and that they achieve well. Pupils love coming to school and are proud to be members of the school community. This is because of the kindness, care and help they receive from staff. High expectations and mutual respect underpin relationships between staff and pupils. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are given the tools and help they need to work well alongside their peers and contribute positively to the life of the school. Pupils relish the additional opportunities that the school has designed for them. This includes visits to the local community such as the church, library and theatre. Pupils are proud to have their work displayed in local exhibitions and shows. Through these experiences pupils develop independence and resilience. The school’s impact on pupils’ academic and personal development is remarkable. Parents are effusive about the difference the school has made for their children, with many describing it as ‘transformational’.
