This is a very special school where pupils are happy to attend and it is safe to be yourself. Each individual pupil’s special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well understood. Expectations are extremely high. Leaders are single-mindedly determined to provide every pupil with the skills, knowledge and character needed to get a job when they leave school. Despite being miles apart, the approach to learning and behaviour across the three school sites is highly consistent and remarkably successful. Pupils are helped and supported to manage and regulate their behaviour exceptionally well. Staff skilfully and readily help pupils to get back into the ‘green zone’ when they are having a tough time. Poor behaviour is not allowed to distract the learning of others. Due to their specific needs, some pupils do not understand the differences between bullying and unkind behaviour. However, bullying is rare and incidents are managed very well. The subjects taught, therapeutic interventions, and extra opportunities offered, including during the extended day, are chosen really carefully to prepare pupils to be successful in the future. Parents are overwhelmingly positive in their praise for the school. More than one parent said the school ‘has been life changing’ for their child.
