School Description

Pupils receive an exceptional standard of education and care. The school goes the extra mile to re-engage pupils successfully in learning. Staff show high levels of understanding and empathy towards pupils’ social, emotional, and mental health needs. One parent reflected the views of other parents and carers when they stated: ‘My child is thriving here and receives all of the support they need.’ Pupils receive a heart-felt welcome by staff each morning. Pupils look forward to coming to school. They enjoy their ‘uplift’ sessions when they get to share books with an adult, work in the garden and bake cakes in the café. Staff skilfully select these activities to enhance pupils’ self-esteem and to develop their communication and interaction skills. Each school site and every learning space has been carefully thought through. Pupils say that they feel calm, settled and safe. They can be themselves and are free from any harassment or discrimination. Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes are exceptional. Highly trained staff, including a well-resourced therapy team, support pupils to understand their emotions and anxieties. One pupil told inspectors: ‘We learn how to accept ourselves and how to understand our feelings.’
