Pupils love attending school. They thrive in the school’s welcoming and inclusive ethos. Pupils join the school with considerable difficulties with speech and language. During their time at school, they develop strong communication skills and engage well with learning. Starting in the early years, pupils delight in exploring the world through the wellconsidered learning activities at the school. Students in the sixth form demonstrate the best of what the school offers. They are self-assured and keen to learn. Students gain the knowledge and accreditation they need to be ready for their next steps as capable young adults. Pupils understand the school’s high expectations for their behaviour. They develop strong relationships with staff and other pupils. In social situations, pupils show confidence and care for others. They follow the daily routines and respond well to adults’ guidance. Pupils receive high-quality pastoral support. When struggling to regulate behaviour or emotions, pupils work well with trusted staff who give them the assistance they need. This helps pupils to regain calm and return to learning. Pupils value and benefit from the opportunities at school to take responsibility. The student council enthusiastically contribute their ideas about how to improve the school.
