School Description

The college’s motto of ‘be your best, be yourself, believe’ is at the heart of the school. Teachers help pupils to become increasingly independent in their learning. Pupils have opportunities to complete work experience in a range of settings, such as the King Richard III Visitor Centre and Leicester Royal Infirmary. This helps pupils to become well prepared for life after college. Pupils who find it difficult to communicate using words are taught alternative methods. Pupils use pictures, objects and signs to express what they want to say. As a result, pupils are less frustrated and feel more understood. Pupils behave well around the school. The teachers use songs and rhymes to remind pupils about routines and expectations of behaviour. Most pupils work hard in lessons. Sometimes a pupil may find this difficult. When this happens, teachers treat the pupil with kindness. Adults support pupils to stay safe and play well together at breaktimes and lunchtimes. Pupils and parents agree that there is very little bullying in school. Pupils would tell their teachers if bullying happened. Pupils say teachers would put a stop to it. They feel safe in school. Parents told inspectors that teachers act to help the pupils have positive relationships.
