This school is helping pupils to re-engage with education. Most pupils have had difficult experiences of school in the past. They have a history of low attendance. These pupils now attend school regularly and are optimistic about their futures. Leaders and staff show pupils what it means to respect one another as individuals who, together, form a positive and purposeful community. This helps pupils to form healthy working relationships and friendships of their own. Staff intervene effectively in any conflict between pupils. Bullying, although occasionally reported, is unusual. Trips and off-site visits are a regular feature of the curriculum. Leaders make good use of the local environment, services and attractions. For example, pupils visit the local beaches, restaurants and museums. They keep physically active, going further afield for walks, using a local gym, going swimming and playing mini-golf. All of this helps pupils’ social confidence.
