School Description

Pupils at Mary Elliot School do not receive a good enough education. The curriculum across the school does not meet the needs of pupils well enough. Pupils are not helped to know and remember more because leaders have not decided what they want pupils to learn, or the order in which they will learn it. Pupils are not well prepared for the next stage of their education. The new leadership team is working hard to establish a culture of high expectations. The school’s values of positivity, opportunity, kindness, inclusiveness and togetherness are at the heart of everything they try to do. Staff care deeply for their pupils and know them well. They help pupils communicate more easily. Pupils are happy and behave well in school. Leaders have introduced different behaviour approaches that are used by staff to support the pupils. Pupils know what is expected of them and follow routines well. Staff quickly support pupils if they are worried or feel bullied. Leaders carefully consider pupils’ personal development. Pupils on the school council make decisions about school activities and equipment they would like. Visits to local shops, as well as running an allotment, help prepare pupils for life away from school.
