School Description

Pupils do well at this school. Leaders ensure that pupils’ academic and personal development is central to the school’s work. For many pupils, this is the first time they have felt settled. At Gretton, pupils have found a school where most are happy and can be themselves. Pupils have positive relationships with adults. Staff make pupils feel valued from the moment they join the school. Staff carefully plan individual programmes so that pupils receive the help and support outlined in their education, health and care plans (EHC plans). Each morning, pupils receive a personal greeting from staff at the school gate. Adults are kind and skilful when speaking with pupils with complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and provide well for their academic achievement. Pupils gain qualifications from key stage 3. Pupils try hard with their learning in lessons. Adults support pupils well when required. Pupils build self-confidence and skills, so they can work with increasing independence. Leaders prepare pupils well for the next stage of their education or employment. Pupils say that they have experienced bullying elsewhere in the past. The longer they remain at this school, pupils trust that adults will listen and act on any concerns they have. Older pupils understand that adults will not tolerate bullying of any sort. This is a school where pupils’ differences are easily celebrated.
