School Description

This school is a safe haven where pupils, all of whom have education, health and care (EHC) plans, flourish. Many pupils arrive having experienced disruption to their schooling and emotional upheaval. From the start of school, pupils experience consistent routines paired with expert support. They quickly benefit from highly positive relationships with staff, who treat them with patience and kindness. This helps pupils to build trust and to feel safe in their surroundings. Pupils are encouraged to make friends and learn to treat others with respect. Pupils appreciate that staff take care and time to understand them as individuals. They said, ‘If I do something wrong, they help me to get past it’ and ‘Staff know what to do to help me when I am upset.’ Pupils are happy at school. Once settled, pupils access a stimulating curriculum. The carefully considered environment helps to further unlock their potential. As a result, pupils make exceptional progress from their starting points. Pupils spoke with enthusiasm about the many exciting activities they experience, such as residential visits and trips to local theatres and museums. They gain social confidence through their regular outings in the local community and by representing their school in sports competitions. They spoke with great pride about their notable success in a local swimming gala.
