School Description

Pupils thrive here. They can gain GCSE and functional skills qualifications in many different subjects. Parents and carers are full of praise for the school. Many parents report that the staff have real belief in the pupils. One typical parental comment being, ‘When nobody else believes in them, the staff here do.’ Pupils and staff share a culture of respect and dignity. Consequently, positive relationships exist. Staff know the pupils very well. They anticipate when pupils might struggle to regulate themselves. Consequently, staff take effective action to help ensure that pupils do not become overwhelmed. Pupils behave very well. They say that they feel safe and are respected. The wider curriculum offer is exceptional. For example, pupils take part in an enterprise week. Here, pupils pitch their ideas, form a company and make products for Christmas. Pupils have opportunities for work experience. Close links with local businesses mean that pupils are well prepared for what the world can offer them. Pupils have various opportunities to learn about the wider world. They take part in musical performances. Pupils enjoy making multimedia productions. They learn that there are no ‘glass ceilings’ for them.
