Pupils at Seven Hills School enjoy an education that prepares them well for their next steps. Pupils learn how to be independent from the start of Year 7. This learning increases in breadth and depth as they move through the school. In the sixth form, students learn about a range of careers. This helps them develop confidence and self-belief about what they can do next. The school has high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils progress well with targeted support from expert staff. Pupils’ attitudes to learning underpin this focus on academic progress. Pupils are respectful to staff and one another. Occasionally, bullying can happen, but pupils are confident that staff will resolve it. Pupils enjoy personalised interventions from a high-quality pastoral team. This includes one-to-one gym sessions that provide an opportunity to explore issues while exercising. Pupils with the most complex needs develop positive routines and relationships. They learn to regulate their own behaviour. Staff thoughtfully create classroom environments that support and encourage good behaviour. Pupils thrive emotionally and socially in this stimulating and personalised setting. Pupils enjoy a range of experiences designed to broaden their horizons. The school ensures these opportunities are fully inclusive. Pupils learn transferrable skills during outdoor activities, including rock climbing. They also enjoy clubs such as dance and football.
