Pupils enjoy attending school. Over time, they develop strong and trusting relationships with the staff who support them. These relationships help pupils to feel calm and to focus on their learning. Pupils feel cared for and valued. The school has high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils meet these most of the time. Sometimes, pupils become frustrated, resulting in poor behaviour. Staff resolve this quickly and effectively. Bullying and other acts of unkindness are rare. Staff are ambitious for what pupils can achieve during their time at the school. They are determined that pupils will fulfil their potential and that they are well prepared for adulthood. Pupils follow a bespoke curriculum that is designed to meet their specific needs. Most pupils achieve well. The school provides pupils with a varied range of opportunities that enhance their learning. This builds on what they learn in the curriculum. For example, completing ‘travel training’, that enables them to develop greater independence. Pupils enjoy the opportunities that they have to learn in the local community. Pupils participate in weekly clubs, such as chess, that allow them to explore their interests. Many contribute more widely, such as to the school council or the society talent show.
