School Description

This is a rapidly improved school. Pupils are valued and nurtured. Skilled staff provide personalised learning and support. There are high expectations for pupils’ behaviour and achievement. The school’s core ‘RICH-T’ values of respect, integrity, compassion, honesty and trust are woven through the school’s curriculum. Pupils earn ‘golden tickets’ when they display these behaviours. The curriculum is broad and aspirational. It is designed to meet the needs of pupils. Pupils experience a variety of learning opportunities, including vocational and academic courses. Pupils who access alternative provision learn to engage in education, follow their interests and develop their skills. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive and good-natured. The school ensures that pupils are safe and have staff to turn to if they need help. Pupils learn to behave well. Staff teach them to understand and manage their emotions. Pupils receive strong support for their mental health. Staff help pupils to reduce their anxiety and develop their confidence. The school provides various enrichment opportunities. Pupils experience visits to museums, places of worship and theatre performances. They hold positions of responsibility as school councillors. The school’s residential trips and outdoor education activities help pupils to develop independence and learn life skills.
