The fantastic work the staff do shines brightly through their pupils.’ The school is a safe and caring environment for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. There are high ambitions for all pupils. Staff support all pupils to make a positive contribution to society. The school motto of ‘every child, every chance, every day’ promotes an environment where all pupils are highly valued by staff. Pupils respond to this by showing the same value and care for each other. Behaviour is exceptional. Pupils look after each other and play well together.
