Pupils described this school as friendly and a place that helps them to learn and be successful. Leaders, teachers and support staff are highly successful in creating this positive climate. They give pupils the tools they need to live a fulfilling life regardless of the challenges they might face. Staff meet each pupil’s individual special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) needs effectively. They work in partnership to provide a rich range of support to help pupils overcome barriers to learning, whatever these may be. This extends from the well-planned curriculum that is tailored to each pupil, to the wide variety of therapeutic support. Teachers and teaching assistants use their in-depth knowledge of pupils’ needs, and how to help them learn, to support pupils in getting the best possible progress in life. Staff know how to manage pupils’ behaviour and minimise disruption. Occasional incidents of disruption are dealt with calmly so that these rarely, if ever, get out of hand. Pupils said that if bullying happens, staff shut it down quickly and effectively. The safety of pupils is paramount. As a result, pupils learn in a safe and secure environment. Classrooms are places of learning where pupils are encouraged to engage enthusiastically with the planned work.
