Pupils are happy at this inclusive and nurturing school. Prior to joining the school, many pupils have missed a lot of education. However, the school has established an effective transition process that enables pupils to adapt well. The youngest children settle quickly in the early years settings. The school prioritises supporting pupils to manage their emotional responses to the world around them. Behaviour, as a result, improves consistently. Pupils enjoy strong, positive relationships with caring staff. Pupils know that there are trusted adults, who they can speak with about any worries they may have. This fosters a sense of safety and belonging. The school is ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Staff set high expectations and support pupils to be successful in their learning. This leads to external accreditation in a diverse range of subjects, such as food, engineering and foundation English and mathematics. Pupils are positive about their school and their learning. Most pupils are ready for the next stage of their learning, usually at a college of their choice. The school provides a personalised offer that reflects pupils’ needs. Pupils benefit from a broad range of experiences outside the classroom, including visits to local community facilities, sports grounds and work experience.
