School Description

Stone Lodge pupils learn in a caring, supportive community. Many of them have had difficult educational experiences prior to joining the school. Typically, they settle in quickly. They begin to trust the adults who work with them, gain confidence, make friends and learn how to build positive relationships. Most pupils get on well together. In assembly, their applause was spontaneous and enthusiastic as they celebrated the winners of the design competition for the school logo and flag. Younger children enjoy reading and listening to the stories that staff share with them. Pupils who are at an early stage of learning to read, and older pupils who have fallen behind, however, do not always get the well-focused support they need to catch up quickly. Pupils like swimming and outdoor activities, such as sailing and forest school. The pupil council represents others well, including by sharing ideas with leaders on how to improve school experiences. Pupils feel safe. They say that bullying happens sometimes. However, they know that staff will help them if they are concerned. The few pupils who find it harder to live up to the high standard of behaviour expected are supported to improve.
