Pupils make good friends and grow in confidence and independence. They are happy and safe at school and typically commented that they enjoy it more and more. Staff are trained and committed and supervise pupils well. There is always a member of staff on hand if a pupil has any worries. Leaders provide pupils with a wide range of opportunities to help them to meet their individual targets. Outings to local shops and contact with people in the local community encourage pupils’ social skills. Through attending a variety of clubs, including cooking club, cinema and art, pupils gain new interests. Leaders have high expectations for pupils’ achievements and behaviour. Pupils’ speech, language and communication improve as teachers encourage pupils to have conversations with each other and learn new vocabulary in all subjects. Pupils and staff interact calmly and kindly with each other. Leaders ensure that staff are watchful for any signs that a pupil may be having a difficult day and provide them with the support they need quickly to feel more settled. Staff deal effectively with any rare occasions of impolite behaviour or bullying.
