Pupils feel safe and are happy at Stubbin Wood School. They enjoy attending the school because of the strong relationships they have with the staff who care for them. One pupil said, ‘Teachers are fabulous, and I don’t know what we would do without them!’. Leaders have ensured that the school is a safe and caring environment for pupils with complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They have high ambitions for all pupils. Leaders support all pupils to make a positive contribution to society. The ‘kindness curriculum’ promotes an attitude of thoughtfulness towards others. Other aspects of the curriculum are preparing pupils well for adult life and for employment. Staff support pupils to communicate their needs in a variety of ways. They understand that some pupils may exhibit a range of behaviours associated with their additional needs. Staff respond well to occasions when pupils behave in ways that are not typical for them. This support helps to ensure that pupils feel well looked after. Most pupils said that behaviour is well managed by staff and that if there were any incidents of bullying, these would be dealt with effectively.
