Pupils experience success at this school. In their words, ‘It is OK to be yourself here.’ They benefit from an extensive range of therapeutic support. Many enjoy education for the first time in their school career and are thriving. This is due to staff knowing pupils exceptionally well and ensuring they get the right support at the right time. Pupils have smooth starts to school because leaders forge close relationships with families before they begin. Pupils study an engaging and ambitious curriculum which meets their needs. This links to their aspirations and their social and emotional development, so they gain independence. Pupils learn the skills they need to function in society and, importantly, how to regulate their behaviour. There are few incidents of bullying. Pupils typically support one another and accept that they are all different individuals. If any bullying occurs, staff deal with it immediately. Pupils have very positive relationships with adults and trust them to deal with any concerns they may have. There is a wide choice of enrichment experiences available, such as learning to play the drums, circus skills and culture, along with visits to the theatre. These opportunities help to develop pupils’ characters and widen their horizons.
