This is a wonderful school that makes a significant difference to pupils’ lives. Pupils, who were previously uninspired, simply flourish during their time here. A strong and caring ethos permeates the school. Leaders have created a haven where pupils are enthusiastic about their learning, kept safe and thrive. Pupils learn to manage big feelings. They successfully learn to self-regulate their emotions. Nonetheless, bullying does take place from time to time. Without exception, when such incidents occur, pupils are supported strongly. Those involved always receive direction to reflect upon their actions. This guidance enables pupils to gain a deeper appreciation of the impact they have on others. Over time, pupils develop a clear understanding of how bullying can have harmful effects on others. For instance, one pupil commented: ‘This school has helped me to contain my anger.’ Pupils love their time here and work hard. Staff get the best out of pupils, offering reassurance. They want pupils to succeed. Phrases of encouragement like ‘yes you can’ reverberate through every classroom. Everyone holds pupils’ best interests at the forefront of their work. Staff hold very high expectations and go the extra mile to ensure that pupils succeed.
