School Description

Pupils are so proud of their school. They learn a curriculum that equips them with important life skills. Pupils enjoy their studies. Most focus hard on each activity, even when it demands a lot of them. From early years through to the sixth form, pupils grow in confidence and become more assured communicators. Adults care for pupils with dignity and respect. Staff are tuned into pupils’ capabilities and needs. Pupils get support to become more independent in their decision-making. They learn to socialise and enjoy each other’s company. Pupils celebrate each other’s successes. All pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Pupils learn to manage their emotions due to the help from skilled staff. As a result, pupils increasingly make positive decisions about their feelings, behaviour and movement. Pupils and staff contribute to the school’s happy, productive atmosphere. Pupils are safe. They indicate that they feel safe, including from bullying. Pupils say that, if they were anxious or worried, they would turn to staff for help. Pupils gain important experience of life beyond the school gates. They like to represent their school. They enjoy the ‘special jobs’ they have to do, such as recycling, shopping or helping out on the local allotments.
