Pupils, who all have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy their time at Cambian Red Rose school. They form strong relationships with staff who support them when they arrive. As many pupils have had a disjointed experience of education prior to joining the school, this is essential. Staff support pupils well to manage their behaviour. They help pupils to understand how to respond to different situations. Pupils’ behaviour typically improves over the time that they spend at the school. Lessons are not interrupted by any off-task behaviour. Overall, pupils learn in a positive, encouraging environment. The school wants the very best for its pupils. Staff ensure that they get to know pupils’ individual needs when they join the school. This helps them to understand where pupils could have gaps in their learning. Staff tailor the support that pupils receive to meet their individual learning needs. In many subjects, the school is successful in doing so. Pupils achieve well from their starting points. Pupils enjoy a range of opportunities to develop their life skills. This includes taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh experience. Many pupils are initially nervous when they start at the school. Staff support pupils well and pupils go on to develop many skills. In addition, pupils get the opportunity to learn about different career pathways which support them to make effective choices about their future.
