School Description

Pupils are very happy and well cared for in this kind and inclusive school. Relationships between everyone are strong and the atmosphere is calm and harmonious. The school has a particularly supportive, caring and nurturing ethos. This helps pupils to develop positive attitudes towards each other. Most parents and carers are very positive about how effectively the school meets the individual needs of their child. Staff take great care to ensure that all pupils can communicate in ways which best suit them. Pupils are keen to learn. They are happy to take part in activities with each other, especially in assemblies. They are enthusiastic to celebrate their own success and take joy in the success of others. When the opportunities arise, pupils love trying new challenges. This includes physical as well as academic tasks. However, currently, these opportunities are too rare. Pupils say that they feel safe in school and that staff care about their well-being and welfare. Pupils behave well, both in lessons and at social times. They know who to talk to if they have any concerns and trust staff to always help them. Pupils told inspectors that bullying does not happen.
