School Description

Pupils benefit from positive relationships at this caring school. Staff help pupils to communicate and interact with increasing success. However, the overall quality of education is not yet good. The school is aware that, until recently, expectations of what pupils could achieve were too low. Although curriculum planning has improved and reading is now a priority, these elements are implemented inconsistently, and expectations of pupils remain variable. As a result, pupils do not achieve as well as they should. The school is usually calm and purposeful. However, due to their needs, pupils can present with challenging behaviours. Staff know each pupil and their individual needs very well. They use this to establish positive and trusted relationships. Every pupil has an individual plan to help them manage their own behaviour. Staff use this effectively. As a result, pupils’ behaviour typically improves considerably over time. Bullying is exceptionally rare, if it ever happens. Pupils are happy and feel safe. They know that staff care for them. Pupils develop character and self-confidence. They learn about themselves, ways to keep healthy and how to access their community successfully. This means they are well prepared for the transition to adulthood.
