School Description

Staff cherish pupils in this little school. There are warm and caring relationships, which ensure a calm learning environment. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They like spending time relaxing in the abundant gardens of the college. Pupils improve their physical and emotional health through working with the school dogs and playing with Dave, the hamster. These activities are particularly effective for supporting the pupils who have complex medical and special educational needs and/or disabilities. Pupils feel happy and safe. They are not afraid to share their worries with adults. Bullying is very rare. If an incident causes any distress, pupils are confident that it will be dealt with swiftly. Staff handle issues sensitively and with pupils’ dignity in mind. Pupils have good attitudes in lessons. They are motivated and make strong progress in most subjects. However, the reading programme has not been implemented fully. As a result, some pupils do not enjoy reading, which impedes their progress in other subjects at times.

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK.
