Pupils are happy and feel safe in this small school. Pupils are helped to overcome past difficulties due to the effective care and support they receive from staff. Pupils are expected to work hard and build positive attitudes to learning. Pupils, typically, rise to this challenge, learn well, and rejoin mainstream schools. Pupils usually stay at the school for about 12 weeks, although some stay longer. While at the school, pupils are provided with a wide choice of subjects to learn. Pupils know that leaders want them to achieve as highly as they can. However, in some subjects, pupils do not learn as well as they could. This is because leaders have not structured the curriculum clearly enough. Pupils increase their attendance over time because leaders help them in different ways. Pupils’ behaviour improves when they come to this school. This is because leaders manage behaviour effectively. Pupils are confident about how well leaders will deal with bullying if it happens. Pupils take part in activities outside the classroom. However, leaders have had to hold off on some of these events during the pandemic. Outdoor walks and hillclimbs help pupils to keep fit and understand the benefits of regular exercise. Pupils enjoy being members of the school council, which gives them experience and understanding of decision-making and democracy.
