High Elms Manor School is a calm and supportive place to learn. Leaders and staff have high expectations that all pupils will grow in confidence and develop as individuals. Pupils are encouraged to play an active part in their learning and always try their best. Pupils are friendly and courteous with each other, and with adults and visitors in school. Pupils understand the importance of treating each other with respect. They enjoy coming to school, learning and school life. Pupils told us that staff look after them well. They are confident that if they had any worries staff would sort them out quickly. As one pupil commented, ‘Everyone gets on really well here because we all know each other very well.’ Pupils say that bullying does not happen but if it did leaders have good systems for dealing with it. Almost all parents are pleased with the work of the school, especially the way that their children are cared for and the positive gains their children make in their learning. Some parents spoke about how communication is improving. They appreciate the increase of information they now receive about school life and would like this to continue through the school’s website.
