Pupils are happy at the school and enjoy good relationships with staff. However, the curriculum for English is not well developed. Pupils who need to catch up with reading are not given sufficient help. Pupils say that staff care about them and that they take the time to listen to them. Pupils feel that the school is a safe place for them. As a result of this level of care, many of the pupils re-engage with learning. The positive and supportive climate in the school also helps pupils to manage their own behaviour. Leaders focus on meeting the needs of individual pupils. They plan the curriculum carefully to match it to pupils’ education, health and care (EHC) plans and pupils’ learning needs. Even so, in some areas the curriculum does not help pupils to know and remember important knowledge. The school focuses upon the personal development of its pupils and delivers a strong curriculum in this area. Staff work with pupils and support their personal growth, helping them to overcome challenges. Parents value the school and the support that it provides for their daughters and their families as a whole. The school has strong communication with families, who value this and feel involved in their daughters’ education.
