Pupils attending this school receive life changing support, care and attention. They are taught to regulate their emotions and behaviour. Many pupils begin to attend school regularly for the first time in years. Pupils learn different strategies, such as breathing techniques, to calm themselves down when they are upset. This means that they are supported to quickly refocus on learning. The school is calm and pupils work hard. The school has a family feel, all pupils and staff regularly coming together during the school day to share successes and social times. Pupils are given the chance to share news or interesting things every day. Pupils listen intently to others with interest. They genuinely take care of each other, particularly looking out for those who are new or unwell. This makes pupils happy. Pupils and staff celebrate small changes in pupils’ lives, for example complimenting new glasses. The school also has high expectations for pupils’ academic success. Pupils make rapid progress, filling gaps in previous learning. Most pupils are on track to take ageappropriate qualifications, such as GCSEs. They are taught by skilled teachers, who engage pupils’ interest in their learning.
