School Description

Pupils enjoy an exciting and ambitious curriculum that gives them the tools that they need to become independent and confident adults. Pupils love learning. The excitement on pupils’ faces and their big joyful smiles show how happy pupils are in school. Staff have high expectations for every pupil. They make sure that they fully understand the specific special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) of each pupil. They consider what each pupil will need to know and be able to do. This ensures that all pupils achieve exceptionally well. Some parents and carers described their child’s experience at school as life changing. Leaders expect the best from pupils in terms of behaviour. They make sure that every pupil has a personalised positive behaviour plan. This allows all staff to know how to meet each pupil’s sensory or emotional needs. Behaviour in and around school is excellent. Pupils feel settled and safe in school. Staff will intervene quickly if pupils fall out, experience bullying or struggle to share. This swift and effective support ensures that pupils feel safe. Pupils have opportunities that allow them to experience new and often challenging adventures. On a recent trip to London, pupils planned their train journey. They used the underground tube to visit museums and Buckingham Palace. They decided what they wanted to eat, shopped for ingredients, cooked and ate together.
