School Description

The school is a happy and safe place to learn. Larwood pupils settle in quickly, often after extended periods of disruption to their previous education. They trust their teachers and other adults because staff take time to get to know everyone’s interests and needs. This happens even before pupils join the school. Pupils are encouraged to read regularly and supported to catch up. They make huge strides in improving their behaviour and attendance. This is because they know what is expected of them from the outset and rise to the challenge of the high expectations set. They enjoy their learning across a wide range of subjects, including opportunities to gain important life skills such as cooking and swimming. Physical education and lunchtime games help pupils to keep healthy. Everyone is included. The importance of making good choices and being kind to each other is well promoted. Bullying is rare and sorted out quickly if it happens. Exciting events, for example ‘Larwood’s Got Talent’, the Christmas production and singing out in the community allow pupils to showcase their performance skills. Educational visits, such as trips to the theatre, museums and to different places of worship, bring learning to life.
