School Description

This is a happy place to be. Pupils are safe and well cared for by staff who know them well. Pupils consistently demonstrate kind attitudes to one another. For example, they give others time to communicate, or gently take their friend’s hand to guide them around the school. Play times are enjoyable for all. Pupils are enthusiastic about the imaginative games they play on the school field. Everyone is included, and they enjoy playing on the accessible swings and slides. Younger children are well supported to play and relax in their recently developed outdoor area. Adults skilfully support them to make choices about their play, such as taking time to read stories or explore the mud kitchen. Every pupil is respected as a unique individual. Parents agree, with one commenting: ‘Medina House are amazing at looking at each child individually and adjusting to their needs accordingly. My child is now able to succeed.’ Attendance is high because pupils love coming to school. Staff are united in their ambition for pupils to achieve all they are capable of. Pupils are taught how to understand their own emotions and helped to develop strategies to regulate their behaviour. This means that pupils behave well and concentrate on their learning. In fact, many pupils describe their lessons as ‘fun’ and ‘amazing’.
