School Description

This is a school where pupils learn the right thing at the right time. Leaders ensure that there is a close link between the education and clinical provisions. There is a common ambition for pupils to ‘reach their fullest potential as both individuals and as part of a community’. Staff know pupils well. Over time, pupils engage well with their education. They value the personalised education programmes they follow. Pupils talk positively about how staff shape the learning around what interests and motivates the pupils. One pupil described how teachers have designed a curriculum that builds specifically on their love of current affairs and debating. The ‘code of practice’ helps pupils understand what is expected of them. Pupils do their best to live up to these expectations. Key teachers ensure that pupils are listened to and have a voice. When pupils do need help, it is put in place quickly. This help is proportionate and well tailored. Pupils are kept safe. The school’s joint work with the hospital’s multi-disciplinary team ensures that everyone understands their responsibilities.
