School Description

Kingsmead School is a safe and welcoming place. Pupils feel safe and enjoy coming to the school. This is because of the respect and care staff show them. Parents say that the school understands and provides for the different needs of their children. The ‘RESPECT’ values of the school shape the way staff and pupils relate to each other. Expert staff help pupils to calm down when they are struggling to control their emotions. The school’s vision of a ‘good today, better tomorrow’ means that pupils know they will always have another chance to get things right. This creates a positive and safe environment in which pupils can learn. They know staff will not give up on them. Pupils say bullying rarely happens and if it does, staff act quickly to help resolve issues. Leaders have provided the right resources for the pupils’ often complex needs. There is a sensory room and a much-loved therapy dog, Wilf, who is an important member of staff. Lessons and topics have been carefully chosen to keep pupils interested and to stretch their thinking. Pupils enjoy working with staff who know the best ways to help them learn.
