Pupils enjoy spending time together and include everyone in their play or social time. Pupils enthusiastically talk or sign about who their friends are and what they like doing together. They enjoy school. Parents agree with this, many describe how their child has thrived here. Pupils’ well-being is held in the highest importance. Pupils are safe and well looked after. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive. Many staff changes and absences have meant that improvements in the quality of education have not happened quickly enough. As a result, pupils have not been taught as well as they should have been. Some pupils are not engaged in learning too much of the time. This means that those pupils have not learned as well as they should. Pupils benefit from a wide-ranging curriculum, enjoying regular swimming and cookery. They are prepared well to be as independent as possible as they move towards adult life. Many pupils leave with qualifications that help them gain college placements. For those with more complex needs, teaching enables pupils to learn clear communication skills.
