School Description

Pupils leave the school well prepared for their next steps. They achieve well, both academically and personally, due to leaders’ high expectations for them. Leaders ensure that all pupils benefit from the carefully planned curriculum, which meets their individual needs. Pupils enjoy school. They receive a friendly welcome from caring staff as they arrive at school each day. New pupils adapt quickly to school life. They make friends and settle into new routines. Pupils feel safe and cared for. This is because pupils’ well-being is given the highest priority by staff. Pupils know that their teachers are ready to listen and to help them with any concerns that they may have. Pupils enjoy exercising and relaxing in the spacious outdoor sports and garden areas. They appreciate daily time to socialise, play football and visit the sensory garden and quiet areas. Pupils develop confidence and resilience through regular outdoor learning activities, such as sailing and climbing. Pupils are well supported by staff to manage their behaviour and show respect for others. Should bullying arise, pupils are confident that staff will deal with incidents quickly and effectively.
