Pupils get a second chance at Hall Cliffe Primary School. Many have had difficult previous school experiences. This changes when they start school here. For most pupils, managing behaviour and emotions is a struggle. At school, there are frequent outbursts when pupils get frustrated or upset. Help is always available. The wonderful pastoral support that pupils receive is helping them to get better at regulating their emotions. Pupils feel valued, understood and special. They appreciate the calm, kind and consistent support they receive from staff. Pupils understand what bullying is. Bullying is not a problem at this school. There are very high staff to pupil ratios in class and when the pupils are outdoors. Well-trained staff swiftly manage any inappropriate behaviours. There are high expectations for pupils. Pupils know that they are expected to work hard. Pupils respect and understand the needs of others. Many pupils who have had prolonged time out of education now enjoy reading and mathematics, and they study a full curriculum. The skilful combination of adapted personalised curriculums, high-quality pastoral care and plenty of fun activities results in an exceptional educational experience for pupils.
