Hinckley House is a cohesive school where everything is underpinned by positive relationships. Pupils know that they are expected to be ‘ready, responsible and respectful’. Staff consistently model and exemplify these values. Pupils do their best to follow this lead. The school has high expectations of pupils’ achievement. It develops a forensic understanding of pupils’ special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to enable this. As a result, from their relative starting points, pupils achieve well. Pupils enjoy school. This is reflected in their positive attendance rates. They appreciate their attractive, grade two listed building. They value the outdoor areas, including the multi-use games area. They make good use of the wide range of play equipment available. Pupils enjoy the recognition that they receive for doing the right thing. They are eager to earn the ‘reward points’ on offer. They look forward to exchanging these for rewards from the school’s shop. The weekly ‘celebration assembly’ motivates pupils to do their best. Provision for pupils’ personal development is a strength. The school provides pupils with a wide range of experiences, activities, trips and visitors that help them to learn about, and prepare for, life beyond the school.
