The school has the highest aspirations for pupils’ achievement. Pupils, all of whom have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well. Pupils at the earliest stages of their development benefit from highly nuanced support. This helps them to settle quickly at the school. The school places the development of each pupil’s communication skills at the heart of its curriculum. Pupils enjoy the conversations that they have with each other during their daily social dining experience. They are confident and inquisitive. Pupils relish the diverse range of opportunities that they have to develop their talents and interests. For example, they enjoy visits to a library, local shops and residential trips, where they take part in outdoor and adventurous activities. Pupils take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and develop their enterprise skills, for instance, when they run the school shop. Pupils become resilient and independent young people.
