Pupils are happy to attend this welcoming and friendly school. They feel safe and they like their lessons. The school expects all pupils to do their best and to work hard. At times, pupils need extra help and support to stay focused and achieve their best. Adults provide this support in a calm and nurturing way, allowing pupils time and space to be as independent as possible, and to concentrate on their work. The school’s top priority is developing pupils’ communication. This is threaded through the curriculum at every stage. Leaders and staff have put in place a curriculum that meets the needs of all pupils. It is highly personalised because every pupil has unique learning needs. Parents and carers have a say in what their child will focus on in school, and they appreciate this. As well as academic learning, pupils learn how to develop their social and emotional skills and to do things for themselves. The curriculum teaches pupils how to communicate their feelings, including if they are unhappy or worried about anything. Pupils said that the school creates a culture where kindness is the norm, and bullying is not tolerated. School staff are expert in noticing if a pupil needs extra help, and leaders follow any concerns up quickly.
