This small supportive school prides itself on the individualised learning and care that it offers. Pupils are helped to become confident and respectful through the school’s nurturing environment. They are happy here. Leaders maintain high expectations and ambitions for pupils’ academic achievement. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders’ goals for pupils’ learning are, in most curriculum areas, fully realised. In these areas, pupils are skilfully supported to learn the full school curriculum and achieve well overall. The school has adopted a range of suitable behavioural techniques and principles to support positive behaviour. Staff model and promote these principles and give pupils lots of encouragement and guidance. Pupils are also given time for reflection and to refocus when they need it. As a result, pupils are helped to consider the impact of their own behaviour on their own emotions and on others. In most cases, this results in generally positive behaviour. Pupils are encouraged to make positive contributions to the school and the wider community. They take on responsibilities and think about ways to keep the school safe for all. Visits to the local community garden help pupils to become aware of the benefits of volunteering and also boost their social skills. Pupils enjoy school life and they are kept safe.
