School Description

The School for Inspiring Talents is led with a strong moral purpose. Leaders and staff share a deep commitment to caring for pupils who have faced significant challenges in their lives. This helps pupils who have struggled in other schools to reengage in learning. Pupils respond well to the high expectations staff have of them. At College House, the focus is on emotional support. Small class sizes, safe spaces to use when feeling anxious, and time to learn how to manage their emotions helps pupils settle back into education. At Place House, the focus moves onto academic learning. Pupils use the strategies that they have learned at College House to engage in lessons. At both sites, staff give pupils lots of time and attention. Help is always on hand to reassure pupils. An extensive team of expert therapeutic staff support pupils and their families. This team also provides teachers and support staff with detailed training. The skilful staff team manage behaviour consistently. As a result, pupils feel safe at school. If bullying occurs, staff deal with it promptly. Leaders identify the reasons behind the behaviour and support pupils to address the issues raised. Pupils learn to respect each other.
