School Description

This is a school where everybody cares deeply for all pupils to be safe, happy and successful. Trustees, leaders and staff have a tangible moral purpose. They get to know pupils well because they take the time to do so. Pupils appreciate this. They feel safe, valued, appreciated and respected here. Pupils have had negative experiences in their education before joining St Paul’s and many have been excluded from other settings. The behaviour of pupils improves dramatically here because of the positive relationships between staff and pupils. In lessons, pupils mostly display positive attitudes and behaviour. At breaktimes, behaviour is less positive. The school is working effectively to help pupils put this right. The school wants all pupils to overcome the challenges they have faced in the past. There is a culture of ‘trying something new’ and ‘never giving up’. Everyone wants pupils to achieve and make a positive contribution as well-rounded citizens. Leaders at all levels are determined to make the provision fulfil this ambition. The school has been unsettled since the last inspection due to changes in staffing and the school site. There is now renewed stability in the school, and it is in a secure position to move forward purposefully.
