School Description

Hope High School has a welcoming and nurturing atmosphere. Leaders, governors and staff are ambitious for every pupil. Pupils achieve well from different starting points. When pupils arrive at the school, many display challenging behaviours. Staff foster strong relationships with pupils. This enables pupils to improve their behaviour and build their self-esteem. Most pupils show positive attitudes to learning. They re-engage well with their education. The pupils that we spoke to said that they feel safe at the school. They feel valued and listened to. Bullying is rare. Pupils trust staff to sort out any issues quickly, should they arise. Pupils benefit from a wide range of activities which help them to develop their health and well-being, such as sports, trips and outdoor education. They are also involved in charity work and participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. Pupils are well supported to develop their independence. Activities such as travel and shopping are carefully planned to help pupils to become more confident and ready for adult life. Parents and carers who spoke with inspectors are very pleased with the improvements that they can see in their children’s behaviour. A typical comment was, ‘My child has flourished and has become a rounded person.’
