Pupils receive a warm welcome into school each day. They feel safe and happy knowing that there are trusted adults around them who they know will listen to and support them. Staff treat each pupil with respect and care. Pupils, who shared their views with inspectors, said that staff value and accept them for who they are. Pupils have the guidance and support that they need to grow and to flourish. Many pupils join Lever Park School having had negative experiences in their previous schools. In this school, they have a fresh start. They know that staff treat them as individuals. Staff help pupils to manage their emotions and behaviour. This approach has resulted in a calm and respectful environment. If pupils fall out, staff intervene quickly to help them to resolve the problem and to move on. Pupils enjoy the many opportunities that the school offers. They enjoy learning and are eager to know more. As well as academic and vocational subjects, pupils also learn lifeskills. They learn how to manage money and how to live independently. Pupils gain in confidence and rise to the high expectations that the school has for their achievement. Pupils mainly achieve well in a range of subjects.
