Pupils enjoy coming to this school. When asked, some were hard pressed to think of what could be better, agreeing that they like it, ‘as it is’. Pupils are accepting of their ‘unique’ differences. Older pupils say that they are certain that the school has improved. They link the excellent behaviour witnessed by inspectors to the patience and adaptability of staff, saying that staff act with ‘lightning speed’ if pupils bring their problems into school. Pupils think that staff expect a lot, but say they ‘don’t feel judged’ if they have a bad day. Pupils report that they feel free from bullying, although they do fall out with each other sometimes. They particularly appreciate the school’s ‘learning for life’ programme. One shared openly: ‘I actually went on a trip. I never would have in the past, but now I’m comfortable with myself and who I am, and I trust staff.’ Another pupil reported that the school had given her the confidence to ‘do anything’. Most parents and carers who expressed an opinion are positive about the school. One wrote that the school, ‘gives parents the information they need to know, not what they want to hear’. However, a minority of parents expressed less positive views.
