Pupils feel a sense of belonging at this exceptional provision. It is a place of transformation. Pupils have complex needs associated with their social, emotional, communication and interaction difficulties. Many arrive reluctant to engage, attend or learn because they have had disrupted or difficult experiences of education. However, staff use their honed expertise to get to know pupils extremely well. They use this to create innovative ways to help pupils to settle quickly. Once they settle, pupils thrive within this strong community. Education, welfare and therapy staff follow highly effective approaches to assess, plan and deliver provision. Together they secure a holistic view of pupils’ needs and challenges. Staff promote positive relationships very effectively. This helps pupils to feel valued and safe. Pupils’ behaviour improves dramatically. They reengage with and develop a love of learning. Pupils are very well prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training. The school’s curriculum has understanding pupils’ trauma and barriers to learning at its heart. Pupils benefit greatly from the tailored provision they receive. Many leaders are experts in their fields. This expertise is well used to ensure the school is continually improved. Regular, focused therapeutic support enhances pupils’ wellbeing considerably.
