School Description

Leaders do all they can to create the very best of environments for pupils who attend Options Trent Acres School. They ensure that pupils are nurtured and welcomed. Adults are patient. They take time to get to know pupils really well and learn about their interests. Leaders use this information to personalise the curriculum, lessons and opportunities. All of this helps pupils to thrive both academically and personally. The school atmosphere is calm and relaxed. Pupils form strong and trusting relationships with their key members of staff. This helps them to feel safe. Pupils know it is important to be kind to each other. If pupils fall out, adults help them to resolve any disagreements quickly. Should bullying arise, leaders have effective procedures in place to deal with it. The school goes beyond the expected to give pupils a wide range of experiences. For example, many animals are on site, including ponies, reptiles and a therapy dog. Pupils relish taking part in activities such as animal care. A striking feature of this school is how these animals are used to support pupils in their learning. Pupils told inspectors that the animals are ‘amazing’.
