School Description

When pupils join Mill School, often following difficult experiences in other educational settings, they begin to regain their enthusiasm for learning. Pupils feel welcome here. They said that they are comfortable being themselves, regardless of their special educational needs and/or disabilities. They are proud of the ways that their school celebrates difference. The school is ambitious for pupils, all of whom have education, health and care plans (EHC plan). However, for a time, the education that pupils received was hindered by frequent changes in staff. That said, most pupils leave school well prepared for the next stage in their education, training or employment. Until recently, the behaviour of a minority of pupils made some of their peers feel unsafe. The school has adapted its approach to supporting pupils’ emotional needs. Staff respond sensitively and appropriately when pupils experience distress. As a result, pupils feel happier and safer at school than in the past. Pupils value the wide range of opportunities available to promote their personal development. For instance, they are delighted to be elected to positions of responsibility and to help to arrange school events. Pupils also look forward to joining in with yoga sessions, raising money for charities and spending time with the school’s therapy dogs.
