School Description

Pupils thrive in this uplifting and nurturing school community. Leaders and staff are highly aspirational for all pupils. Pupils experience success and achieve very well in both academic and vocational training. Leaders and staff clearly want the best for all pupils. This shows through every skilful and thoughtful interaction they have with pupils. Developing warm and caring relationships with pupils is prioritised. Staff are firm but fair in their approach. Pupils like this. They trust, respect and appreciate all that staff do for them. As one pupil put it, ‘the teachers here boost us’. Staff manage pupils’ behaviour exceptionally well. This is because they know and understand the needs and circumstances of every individual pupil. Pupils feel safe and happy at school. When they find things difficult, there is always someone to lend a hand. If bullying occasionally occurs, leaders tackle it swiftly and sensitively. Leaders and staff think very carefully about how to motivate and interest pupils in their learning, while developing life skills at the same time. For example, primary pupils run a fruit stall and secondary pupils run a café. Pupils have many opportunities to gain life and work experiences outside of the school environment. These experiences are designed to build pupils’ confidence and equip them admirably for their future lives.
