School Description

A friendly greeting welcomes visitors to this school. Staff support pupils to make a positive start to the school day. Clear and consistent routines help pupils to settle quickly and focus on their learning. Pupils know what staff expect of them, so they feel safe. Staff know the pupils very well. They treat pupils with utmost dignity and respect. High-quality care and support encourage pupils to reach their potential. Pupils give their best effort and behave exceptionally well. Staff apply consistent language and use thoughtful approaches to respond to individual needs. These strategies help pupils to understand their emotions and the impact that their behaviour can have on others. Pupils manage their own behaviour effectively. They help their peers to overcome worries if needed. This fosters a calm and purposeful atmosphere throughout the school. The school has reviewed and carefully organised its curriculum to meet pupils’ special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff have high expectations of what pupils will learn and do. The broad and balanced curriculum and staff’s teaching build pupils’ confidence and help prepare them with important life skills. As a result, pupils thrive and are well prepared for their next steps.
