Staff make Ganton School a special place for pupils. From the moment they arrive, pupils receive strong support to ensure they are safe, happy and learning. Positive, kind relationships between staff and pupils provide a strong foundation for pupils achieving well. The school has designed a curriculum that is rooted in pupils developing independence and being successful, in school and in life. Pupils produce work of high quality, for example in the Blue Ceramics art class. They speak with animation about their lives at school and their plans for the future. They understand how the school is preparing them to be successful young people. Pupils are taught to recognise their own strengths and skills. They learn ways to stay safe, for example, in the community and when online. Staff take every moment needed to reassure, support, listen to and praise the pupils in their care. They know exactly what pupils need to make them feel safe, to re-engage them in learning, and to help them understand boundaries and expectations. As a result, the school is calm and purposeful. Pupils are taught about bullying and the effect it can have. Inspectors did not find any concerns about bullying. Pupils trust the staff to help them.
