School Description

Progression 2 Work helps pupils to overcome the barriers and challenges that they face. It prepares them well for the next stage of their education, employment or training. Positive relationships underpin everything that happens. Staff know pupils well and take good care of them. There is a united ambition for pupils to achieve well academically, personally and socially. From their relative starting points, pupils live up to these expectations and, overall, are beginning to achieve well. Pupils are motivated by the behaviour points on offer. They are eager to earn the ‘enhanced status’ that enables them to select from the many rewards on offer, gokarting and bowling are particular favourites. Pupils develop positive attitudes to learning. One pupil summed up the view of many when they said, ‘I spend more time in lessons here than I’ve done at any other school.’ Pupils enjoy the ‘Active Learning’ sessions. These enable them to engage with a wide range of activities that develop their talents and interests. Although rapidly improving, some weaknesses in the curriculum and provision for pupils who have education, health and care (EHC) plans remain. This means that pupils do not yet consistently benefit from a good quality of education.
