School Description

Pupils thrive and flourish at this school. Staff take time to understand each pupil’s individual needs and how to best support them. As a result, there is a fully inclusive environment which pupils are at the heart of. This vision is driven by the proprietor body and lived out by all staff. The school’s ‘TREES’ values of teamwork, resilience, enjoyment, engagement and self-confidence are understood by everyone. These underpin all that the school does and pupils are reminded of these during every session. Pupils reflect on how they have demonstrated these values. Some pupils have not been in a classroom for a long time prior to joining OEA. Here, they enjoy coming to school and are supported very well by staff, who encourage them to build relationships with their peers. Parents report that, for some pupils this is the first time they have felt a sense of belonging at a school. Staff help pupils to meet the high expectations for their behaviour. They do this by giving clear boundaries and explaining why these are important. During social times, staff engage in games and conversations with pupils, which help develop their confidence. Pupils benefit from extensive enrichment opportunities which encourage them to step out of their comfort zones and to learn from mistakes. During the inspection, a visit to Carisbrooke Castle helped pupils to develop their conversational and teamwork skills in a less familiar setting.
