School Description

Pupils are happy at Kisimul School. Staff know pupils and their needs very well. Relationships between staff and pupils are calm, purposeful and nurturing. Pupils build self-awareness and self-confidence. They feel safe. Staff care for pupils very well. Many pupils learn to recognise when they feel unsettled. They often manage their own behaviour well. Staff also support pupils to manage behaviour. On some occasions, pupils are unkind to each other. Bullying rarely happens. Staff continually supervise pupils and help them to get along. Staff provide pupils with therapy sessions, appropriate to their needs. Leaders thread therapy through the timetable; it is integral to pupils’ learning. Pupils’ experiences in music therapy are joyful and beautiful. Pupils develop their talents and interests through a range of activities. For example, they like gardening, horse riding, trampolining, shopping and cooking. Some pupils enjoy their time on the school farm. They love looking after the horses, goats, sheep and pigs. Clover, one of the pigs, is particularly popular. Staff broaden pupils’ learning and life experiences. Staff help pupils interact with the world around them. Pupils like and trust the staff.
