School Description

The school’s values of ‘inspire engagement, build relationships, increase communication, promote independence and encourage resilience’ are truly at the heart of everything the school does. The colourful triangles that represent these values can be seen all around the school, and pupils try their very best to live up to them. Pupils love their school. Their engagement and sheer enjoyment in learning are wonderful to see. Pupils experience invaluable, exciting opportunities to learn about the world around them. Staff enable pupils to be as fully prepared for their future lives as possible. Parents and carers, and, wherever possible, pupils are included in all decisions about the future at the earliest possible stage. The school’s successful ‘bubble behaviour ethos’ illustrates clearly the consistent approach adopted throughout the multi-academy trust. This positive, proactive and preventative approach works very well. All staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Staff are highly skilled and know pupils extremely well. Routines are consistently followed, reducing anxiety for pupils, and allowing them to understand what is expected of them. Consequently, pupils behave exceptionally well and the school is a very calm place to learn. The non-judgemental, supportive community that leaders strive for makes this school a warm, nurturing, inclusive environment of which everyone is rightly proud.
