Most pupils have experienced regular periods of disruption to their learning before joining the school. Leaders have carefully considered how to develop the curriculum to meet pupils’ individual needs, matching it to what pupils have remembered from their previous learning. This helps pupils enjoy their lessons and want to learn more. Pupils enjoy the wider experiences provided for them. They excitedly talk about what they have learned. Leaders have worked hard to broaden learning for pupils outside the classroom through visits to museums and the farm, caving and local park walks. Staff expertly support pupils to learn new curriculum knowledge from the visits and also to acquire new skills. These skills benefit pupils in school and in their lives beyond school.
