Pupils’ lives are transformed by attending this school. Leaders’ high ambitions drive every element of the school’s work. Staff focus constantly on preparing pupils for adulthood. As a result, pupils’ personal, social and communication skills develop significantly. This supports pupils to move on towards successful future lives. Carefully planned routines settle pupils quickly into the school. This helps them to access meaningful learning. Pupils engage enthusiastically with the rich range of life experiences that leaders open up for them, both in and out of school. These enable pupils to practise vital skills, such as communication and cooperation. In the school café, pupils queue up patiently, make healthy choices for lunch and enjoy eating lunch alongside the adults who care for them. This is just one example of how pupils learn to manage their behaviours and interactions with others. Hill House is a safe and caring place to be. Leaders and staff understand pupils’ complex needs extremely well. Education, care and therapy staff work seamlessly together. Their thoughtful work keeps pupils’ wishes, views and needs constantly in mind. Consequently, pupils thrive.
