This is a joyful place where pupils and students in the sixth form flourish. A passion for pupils’ success underpins everything the school does. Staff inspire pupils to become curious and independent beyond the classroom. Pupils are happy and kept safe. The school puts no ceiling on pupils’ academic or social achievements. The curriculum is designed to help pupils thrive. From their first day at school, pupils receive highly individualised and specialist support. Every aspect of pupils’ needs is considered and meticulously planned for. Pupils achieve highly from their various starting points. Staff treat pupils with warmth and kindness. They know each pupil extremely well. Staff understand the different ways pupils communicate their needs. This contributes significantly to pupils’ growing self-confidence and to their sense of belonging. Across the school, pupils behave exceptionally well. The school provides pupils with the tools and firm foundations for their next step in life. For example, its actions to involve pupils in the local community are tangible. This includes the school sharing its communication tools with local supermarkets and a garden centre. This helps sixth-form students to socially interact with retail staff when learning to shop independently and supports the school’s families when shopping at the weekend.
