School Description

Pupils at Green Fold School benefit from the expertise of well-trained staff who understand their needs. Staff support pupils very well to overcome any barriers that they might face. Pupils behave well and focus on their learning. Staff are adept at intervening when pupils start to become distressed. They enable pupils to quickly regain a calm equilibrium. Leaders have established clear and robust routines. This helps pupils to feel safe and happy at school. They willingly join in with learning activities and during structured social times. Leaders address unacceptable behaviour thoroughly, including bullying. They help pupils to understand what it means to be a good friend. Pupils are supported by staff to find out which method of communication suits them best. Pupils become confident in making their own choices and expressing their ideas and opinions. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. Children begin to build up key knowledge and skills in the elements of their ‘core’ curriculum in the early years. Over time, pupils make strong progress in these areas. However, there is unevenness in pupils’ learning in some other areas of the curriculum because leaders are not clear enough about what they want pupils to learn.
